Michigan Tech has been continuously accredited since 1928. In 2005, Michigan Tech was accepted into the Academic Quality Improvement Program (AQIP), an alternative evaluation process for organizations already accredited by the Commission. In 2013, there will be two paths to HLC accreditation: Standard Pathway, Open Pathway, and Academic Quality Improvement Program (AQIP). AQIP requires evidence of continuous improvement, as demonstrated by ongoing action projects and a systems portfolio.
To date, we have completed six action projects and two strategy forums. In 2012, we completed a Quality Checkup visit and are awaiting reaffirmation. For an update on our progress, click here.
