Academic Quality Improvement Program
Quality Institution – AQIP
West Suburban College of Nursing is accredited through the Higher Learning Commission, utilizing the Academic Quality Improvement Program (AQIP). AQIP involves the entire institution in a journey through continuous improvement.
AQIP was launched in July 1999 with a generous grant from the Pew Charitable Trust; the AQIP infuses the principles and benefits of continuous improvement into the culture of colleges and universities by providing an alternative process through which an already-accredited institution can maintain its accreditation from the Higher Learning Commission. With AQIP, an institution demonstrates it meets accreditation standards and expectations through sequences of events that align with those ongoing activities that characterize organizations striving to improve their performance.
The AQIP process involves many different facets, which allows the institution to keep evolving its processes and continually refine itself into a more quality institution. Listed below are links to reports, information and projects the College has completed or is working on to continuously improve.
