Quality Initiative

HLC’s Open Pathway accreditation review cycle requires an institution to designate one major improvement effort to undertake between years 5 and 9 of the 10-year cycle. The Quality Initiative process allows the University to pursue an effort that is targeted toward its priorities and aspirations. 

Addressing student mental health through course design and other factors in the learning environment was the focus of the most recent Quality Initiative for the Twin Cities and Rochester campuses.
