To meet the requirements for outcomes-based learning, the college has established an Office of Assessment and Accreditation headed by a director. This office serves to train college faculty and staff members about the assessment programs and in meeting the accreditation requirements for its five academic programs by various accrediting agencies. According to Professor Jiwan Sidhu, Director of Office of assessment and Accreditation, the major goals of this office are to coordinate assessment processes; to develop and implement regularly scheduled student, alumni and employer surveys; to organize training programs and workshops on outcomes-based learning for the faculty and students of this college.
