Following the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) reaccreditation of Arcadia University in 2009, The College of Global Studies adopted a new model for program review adapting the fourteen standards of the Middle States review process to the education abroad context. The first phase of implementation of ATLAS focused on the Program Review and Planning tenet. In 2012, the American Association of University Administrators (AAUA) recognized the ATLAS initiative with its Nikolai Khaladjan Award for innovation and achievement in international education. It has within it three tenets: (1) Program Review and Planning, (2) Student Learning and Development, and (3) Institutional Effectiveness.
In 2012, The College of Global Studies launched the ATLAS initiative (Assessment of Teaching, Learning and Scholarship), which at its core seeks to introduce intentionality, assessment and planning in all aspects of education abroad. Managed by the Director of Research and Assessment, the Center provides oversight of many curricular initiatives including Arcadia Atlas™, the Co-Curricular Learning Certificate and Life of the Mind. The Center works closely with the College’s data center, which functions as the centralized clearinghouse for all active and historical data sets.ĪTLAS™ – Assessment of Teaching Learning and Scholarship The Center for Research and Assessment is the division of The College of Global Studies focused on the generation and publication of research and assessment.
