A behind-the-scenes look at how college and university
accreditation affects your education-and the value of your degree.
Accreditation is essential to colleges and universities. Without
it, they are unable to participate in federal student aid programs
or confer legitimate degrees. In Accreditation on the Edge, Susan
D. Phillips and Kevin Kinser bring together the expertise of
different stakeholders to illustrate the complexities of the
accreditation system and to map the critical issues that must be
navigated going forward. Accreditation can be seen both as an
invaluable resource and as a barrier to needed reform. Presenting
an array of different perspectives-from accreditors and
institutions to policymakers and consumers-the book offers nuanced
views on accreditation's importance to higher education and on the
potential impact of proposed reforms. The contributors reveal that
accreditation is currently on the edge of a policy precipice, as
the needs of higher education and the interests of the many
stakeholders may well outstrip its ability to perform. But, they
argue, accreditation is also on the cutting edge of the
transformation of higher education in the twenty-first century.
Intended for policymakers, accreditors, institutional leaders, and
scholars in higher education, Accreditation on the Edge offers a
comprehensive analysis of the critical issues that accreditation
reform needs to address if it is to serve the future of a
fast-changing higher education environment. Contributors: Armand
