Higher education is under increasing pressure from the government, watch dog groups and consumers to prove the value of their programs. Business programs seeking accreditation, in particular, are held to very high standards to include the measurement and documentation of quality and outcomes. These demands come at a cost, not only to students, but to faculty as well. This session will examine the issues surrounding accreditation, the collection, analysis and dissemination of data as well as the value of such efforts. A brief overview of the current literature will be presented followed by a discussion and question and answer session. Suggestions for future research will also be presented.
