AQIP
AQIP/Accreditation
The University of Saint Mary participates in the Academic Quality Improvement Program
(AQIP), a quality-based, continuous improvement model of institutional accreditation
through the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
AQIP is a quality improvement program and a quality assurance program for higher education
organizations. With AQIP, an institution provides the Higher Learning Commission with the evidence it needs both to make a public quality assurance judgment and to
support and assist the institution in its efforts to excel at achieving the distinctive
higher education mission it has set for itself.
