International Quality Assurance: Priorities for WASC

Type of workshop: 
Special Interest Group Gathering

Convener: William Plater, WASC Senior Consultant for International Affairs; Richard Winn, Vice President, Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities, WASC 

Apr 18, 2012 - 2:00pm - - 4:00pm


In November 2011, the WASC Commission made a policy decision to begin accepting applications for accreditation from a limited number of institutions located in other countries. Four other US regional accrediting commissions have active programs of international accreditation, and WASC currently accredits three international universities in addition to those located in US Pacific Territories. The Commission elected to take a more intentional approach to engagement with foreign colleges and universities in recognition of the increasing globalization of higher education, the already high level of international interest and activity of WASC institutions, and the opportunity to learn from other nations. Institutional representatives are invited to attend this discussion and share their thoughts regarding international quality assurance and its implications for WASC institutions.
