A Culture of Continual Improvement
Snow College is committed to building and sustaining a culture of assessment and evidence-based institutional decision-making to foster student achievement and to enable the institution to fulfill its mission. This work is guided by broad and ongoing assessment cycles. These provide evidence for key institutional performance metrics, which are tied to core themes found in the college's mission statement and other governing statements. The graphic below illustrates this assessment framework and links to additional details.
Institional Accreditation
Snow College is accredited by the Northwest Commission of Colleges and Universities (NWCCU). As an accredited institution, Snow College is required to examine its mission, goals, operations, and achievements. On a seven year cycle, Snow College is provided analysis by peer evaluators, and, later, commendations for accomplishments and recommendations for improvement. Snow College is fully committed to meeting the accreditation standards of the Northwest Commission.
Program-Specific Accreditation
In addition to its institutional accreditation, Snow College offers programs with
special, discipline-specific accreditation.
Mission fulfillment at Snow College refers to the achievement of the college's mission statement and the successful implementation of its educational goals and objectives. The Snow College mission affirms a tradition of academic excellence, encourages a culture of innovation, and cultivates an atmosphere of engagement to advance students in the achievement of their educational goals. This mission is operationalized by the Snow College Strategic Plan using the five central themes of
- Student Success
- Academics
- Recruitment and Retention
- Employees
- Infrastructure and Community.
Key metrics in each theme area help Snow College measure the successful implementation of the college's educational goals and objectives, inform decision-making, and drive plans for continuous improvement.
