Dont Miss it! January CAEL/CAP Webinar - The Quality Standards for Accelerated Learning Programs
| Summary:
In this time of accountability and scrutiny by many agencies, the Commission for Accelerated Programs (CAP) created its Quality Standards in Accelerated Programs from its research and documentation of best practices.

This webinar will discuss each of the nine standard areas in detail with suggested documentation for institutions. In addition the new Model for Good Practice of Accelerated Programs in Higher Education, which was ratified by the CAP Executive Board in December 2011, will be discussed. The accelerated program leadership for any institution who is planning for a regional accreditation visit within the next year should attend this webinar.
