Standard 5: Assurance of Learning

5.1 The school uses well-documented assurance of learning (AoL) processes that include direct and indirect measures for ensuring the quality of all degree programs that are deemed in scope for accreditation purposes. The results of the school’s AoL work leads to curricular and process improvements.

5.2 Programs resulting in the same degree credential are structured and designed to ensure equivalence of high-quality outcomes irrespective of location and modality of instructional delivery.

5.3 Microlearning credentials that are “stackable” or otherwise able to be combined into an AACSB-accredited degree program should include processes to ensure high quality and continuous improvement.

5.4 Non-degree executive education that generates greater than five percent of a school’s total annual resources should include processes to ensure high quality and continuous improvement.
