What is the connection between Accreditation and Distance Education?
The accreditation process "fosters institutional excellence and continuous improvement through innovation, self-analysis, peer review, and application of standards" (accjc.org/about). This process includes distance education programs and courses.
Why is this information on the Distance Education site?
The PCCD DE initiative is designed to:
- Assist the district in achieving its strategic goals and objectives
