Quality Enhancement Plan

The Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACSCOC) indicates that the Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) is an integral component of the reaffirmation of accreditation process and is derived from an institution’s ongoing comprehensive planning and evaluation processes. It reflects and affirms a commitment to enhance overall institutional quality and effectiveness by focusing on an issue that the institution considers important to improving student learning outcomes and/or student success.

CBU’s QEP for 2020-2025 is Community Engagement. Building on a strong tradition and existing culture of community engagement, we will enhance opportunities for student community engagement by (1) increasing both the quality and quantity of student community-engagement experiences and (2) creating more tangible outputs of this engagement.
