Accreditation

The Steering Committee provides overall direction on the project, from assembling the self-study team, preparing the guidelines and outline for the self-study document and preparing for all of the site visit logistics. The Steering Committee will also provide direction and support for seven subcommittees that will each cover a section of the five-part criteria plus the two added special emphases that Purdue has chosen to incorporate into the self-study process.
