PSU SELF-STUDY FOR
2013 NEASC REACCREDITATION VISIT
PSU has convened a team of faculty, administrators, staff and students to conduct a self-study to appraise its success in meeting the goals outlined in our strategic plan. PSU is committed to engaging a broad range of constituents in the self-study process through the use of online resources, documents, and discussions as well as meetings to invite discussion and feedback. An emphasis is on appraising how well we are addressing the 2011 Standards for Accreditation set forth by NEASC’s Commission on Institutions of Higher Education and articulating specific projections for ways in which to continue to improve our delivery of a high quality education – one that
- strives for quality and excellence in all endeavors
- promotes student success, supports faculty and staff in their development
- engages with businesses and organizations in our community, throughout the state and globally,
- strengthens the resources we need to achieve these goals
