Series Description and Scope
The College's self-studies are described as "... a process of self-examination aimed at institutional improvement," (Self-Study Guide, 1) * and are submitted for the purpose of assisting in the determination of the College's accreditation status. In preparation for the accreditation and re-accreditation process by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, Inc. (NEASC), the College embarks on an inclusive and comprehensive report, the self-study, that allows the College, its administrators, and its constituents to partake in and reflect upon the past, present, and future of the College. This series contains self-study reports for the years 1995 and 2005, as well as supporting material in the form of announcements, correspondence, expenses, and meeting minutes.
