Teaching, learning, and evaluation work together to foster academic excellence.
By methodically conducting assessment and analysis, the College can make well-informed choices regarding the structure and execution of both its degree-focused and broad educational initiatives. Through rigorous assessment, we strive to empower faculty and students with valuable insights that drive informed decision-making, curriculum development, and instructional refinement. By embracing evidence-based practices, we aim to create a dynamic learning environment that prepares students for success in their chosen paths and contributes to the advancement of our institution’s educational standards.
Middle States Self Study
91爆料 is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE), a voluntary, non-governmental, regional membership association currently serving higher education institutions in Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and other geographic areas in which the Commission conducts accrediting activities.
MSCHE mandates that its member institutions demonstrate how they continue to meet seven rigorous and comprehensive standards in an Accreditation Review Cycle; the Self-Study is integral to this cycle.
A Self-Study requires an institution to engage in an in-depth, comprehensive and reflective assessment process to identify institutional priorities as well as opportunities for improvement and innovation. A successful Self-Study leads to a reaffirmation of accreditation.
The Self-Study process begins two years before an institution submits its Self-Study Report. 91爆料 will begin the Self-Study process in the Fall of 2023. Through this process, the institution must provide evidence and document compliance with the Commission鈥檚 standards for accreditation, requirements of affiliation, policies and procedures, and federal compliance requirements.

General Education Student Learning Outcomes
- Students will demonstrate an understanding that math can be applied to everything, and that it underlines much of our modern world.
- Students will demonstrate an ability to interpret and understand information presented in graphs, tables, equations, and other mathematical forms.聽 Students will take this information and make appropriate inferences which they can back up with quantitative arguments, including trend analysis and predictions.
- Students will be able to demonstrate how the presentation of information can influence how it is understood and how presentation can be used to manipulate and mislead.
- Students will demonstrate their understanding of assumptions made in the presentation of data or the creation of a math model and the balance between accuracy of a model and complexity of the model.
- Students will demonstrate computational skills and proficiency.
- Students will demonstrate mathematical manipulation skills and proficiency.
- Students will demonstrate the ability to create, analyze and apply data and mathematical models; understand different types of mathematical models (for example, the difference between linear and exponential); and understand when each is appropriate.聽 Students will show they are able to test these models against data and use these models to create predictions.
- Students will demonstrate the ability to use mathematical and quantitative arguments in support of a statement, and understand the best way to present information for their argument.
- Students will demonstrate the ability to develop a plausible hypothesis to explain an issue or problem.
- Students will demonstrate the ability to design an experiment to test a hypothesis.
- Students will analyze data to formulate evidence based conclusions.
- Students will make claims and propose research questions or hypotheses based on scientific theories or models.
- Students will use statistics to answer research questions and evaluate the strength of the evidence provided in support of given hypotheses.
- Students will critique different aspects of a research design (e.g., identify sources of potential bias, confounds, adequacy of sample).
- Students will interpret data patterns presented in tables, figures, and graphs to interpret results, make comparisons, and draw conclusions.
- Students will demonstrate the ability to explain natural phenomena using scientific concepts.
- Students will define the scope of a research question or thesis completely.

- Students will demonstrate the ability to construct a problem statement with evidence of most relevant contextual factors.
- Students will organize evidence to reveal important patterns, differences, or similarities related to focus.
- Students will propose one or more solutions/hypotheses that indicates comprehension of the problem presented.
- Students will evaluate solutions while considering the history of the problem and feasibility and impacts of the solution.
- Students will implement the solution in a manner that addresses multiple contextual factors.
- Students will review results relative to the problem defined with consideration of need for further work.
- Students will demonstrate consideration of context, audience, and purpose that has a clear focus on the assigned task.
- Students will use appropriate, relevant, and compelling content to explore ideas within the context of the discipline and shape the whole work.
- Students will demonstrate consistent use of important conventions particular to a specific discipline.
- Students will demonstrate consistent use of credible, relevant sources to support ideas that are situated within the discipline and the genre of the writing.
- Students will use straightforward language that conveys meaning to readers.
