MSCHE/ACOE Self Study

policies governing collaborative reviews are in Handbook for Collaborative Reviews (http://www.msche.org/publications/collab02060928115344.pdf). The current fourteen MSCHE standards and eight ACOE standards were combined into seven categories to form the basis for working groups to evaluate the standards. For each of the working groups, a tentative set of questions was developed to guide the self-study process. These questions, which are based on the MSCHE and ACOE standards, were written to support analytical assessment and the assembling of documentary evidence.
