Book excerpt: This qualitative phenomenological study examines the effects of accreditation on the mission and vision of private Christian colleges from the perspective of faculty members and administrators. Interviews were conducted with nine participants, one administrator and two faculty members from three different private Christian colleges in northern California: one college was regionally accredited; one was nationally accredited; and, one was non-accredited, but authorized by the state of California to grant Bachelor's degrees. The three research questions were: 1. What value does accreditation bring to a private, Christian college? 2. To what extent does accreditation affect the mission and vision of such an institution? 3. How does a lack of accreditation affect such an institution? The researcher used systems theory (Bertalanffy, 1968) as the guiding framework for this study to examine accreditation and mission statements as concepts within the system of higher education. After examining participant interviews, a new model based on the systems theory framework was derived using the emerging themes in the study findings. The themes of financial aid and outside accreditation agency are considered as "inputs" from the external environment. Accountability and mission, especially mission analysis, are considered part of the "transformation process" of the organization. Collaboration between institutions and reputation are seen as "outputs" of the organization back into the community. "Feedback" could be seen as responses from constituents. It appears that administrators understand the value of accreditation more than faculty members. The administrators made many more positive comments about accreditation. Even though faculty members also made positive comments, there were also negative comments about the amount of extra work that it entailed. The participants from the regionally accredited college did not feel that accreditation affected their mission, but the participants from the other two colleges felt that the type of accreditation or accreditation in general might affect the mission or purpose of a Christian college. Based on participant responses, it would appear that it depends upon the mission of the Christian college and the type of accreditation as to whether or not accreditation would have positive or negative effects upon the mission of a private Christian college. There are negative effects of non-accreditation, but there is a place for such non-accredited Christian education, such as Sunday School, a school of the prophets, or a Bible institute. Some of the positive effects of accreditation are that it allows for a college and its students to receive financial aid, both federal and state. It also provides for outside insight via peer-review from like-institutions and outside accountability. Furthermore, it enables the transferability of credit hours and the acceptance of accredited degrees from institution to institution. Some of the negative effects mentioned by participants are that accreditation can stifle the mission of a Christian institution by imposing criteria, especially social norms, that are not acceptable to such institutions. Also, the time constraints of accredited schools (quarters, semesters, credit hours) can hinder the learning process for some learners who move at a slower pace. Christian institutions of higher education must conduct a thorough mission analysis in order to establish a definitive mission statement for their respective institution. This will enable each institution to determine the need for accreditation and then, if needed, to determine which type of accreditation aptly matches institutional mission.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE SHAPING OF AMERICAN HIGHER EDUCATION SECOND EDITION When the first edition of The Shaping of American Higher Education was published it was lauded for its historical perspective and in-depth coverage of current events that provided an authoritative, comprehensive account of??the history of higher education in the United States. As in the first edition, this book tracks trends and important issues in eight key areas: student access, faculty professionalization, curricular expansion, institutional growth, governance, finance, research, and outcomes. Thoroughly revised and updated, the volume is filled with critical new data; recent information from specialized sources on faculty, student admissions, and management practices; and an entirely new section that explores privatization, corporatization, and accountability from the mid-1990s to the present. This second edition also includes end-of-chapter questions for guidance, reflection, and study.???? "Cohen and Kisker do the nation's colleges and universities a much needed service by authoring this volume. The highly regarded histories of American higher education have become badly dated. They ignore the last quarter century when American higher education was transformed. This volume provides comprehensive information on that era." — Art Levine, president, Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation, and author, When Hope and Fear Collide: A Portrait of Today's College Student "The second edition of The Shaping of American Higher Education is a treasure trove of information and insight. Cohen and Kisker provide us with astute and straightforward analysis and commentary on our past, present, and likely future. This book is invaluable to those seeking to go to the heart of the issues and challenges confronting higher education." — Judith S. Eaton, president, Council for Higher Education Accreditation "Arthur Cohen and his collaborator have now updated his superb history of American higher education. It remains masterful, authoritative, comprehensive, and incisive, and guarantees that this work will stand as the classic required resource for all who want to understand where higher education came from and where it is going. The new material gives a wise and nuanced perspective on the current crisis-driven transformations of the higher education industry." — John Lombardi, president, Louisiana State University System "The Shaping of American Higher Education is distinguished by its systematic approach, comprehensive coverage, and extensive treatment of the modern era, including the first years of the twenty-first century. In this second edition, Arthur Cohen??and Carrie Kisker are??especially adept at bringing historical perspective and a balanced viewpoint to controversial issues of the current era." — Roger L. Geiger, distinguished professor, The Pennsylvania State University, and author, Knowledge and Money
