QUALITY ASSURANCE OFFICE – ARMY QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM (AQAP)

Army Accreditation

The Army Accreditation is an Institutional Accreditation in which the United States Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) Quality Assurance Office conducts an overall review of the entire school, from its operating budgets to its student services utilizing the Army Enterprise Accreditation Standards. The accreditation process is a comprehensive review of a school’s mission, faculty qualifications, and curricula. The process includes self-evaluations, peer-reviews, committee reviews, and the development of in-depth strategic plans. The Army Accreditation ensures that students are learning material that is most relevant and current to their field of study, preparing them to be effective leaders upon graduation.

As a student: Accreditation provides assurance that the program in which you are enrolled or are considering enrolling is engaged in continuous review and improvement of its quality, that it meets endorsed standards in the profession, and that it is accountable for achieving what it sets out to do.

As a faculty member: Accreditation provides a formal process for ongoing evaluation and improvement of the program and faculty development outcomes, a process by which faculty, students and administration can work together in advancing the educational institution's mission.

As a member of the public: Accreditation ensures public accountability of a program or an institution -- that it has the means and demonstrates the outcomes for its educational process that are consistent with its goals and objectives.

QA Program functions are prescribed in AR 350-1, TRADOC Reg 11-21 and 10-5.

AQAP provides oversight to objectively see ourselves – helps to answer the question, “How are we doing?”
