SACSCOC Accreditation

Florida State College at Jacksonville is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges to award the baccalaureate and associate degree. Contact the Commission on Colleges at 1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, Georgia 30033-4097, or call (404) 679-4500 for questions about the accreditation of Florida State College at Jacksonville. The Commission is to be contacted only if there is evidence that appears to support an institution's significant non-compliance with a requirement or standard.

Program Accreditation

In addition to the College’s institutional accreditation through SACSCOC, some programs are accredited through their own discipline-specific accrediting agencies. The list of specialized program accreditations can be viewed here.

Outcomes Assessment is an ongoing, cyclical process by which the institution, its degree and certificate programs, and its units – both academic and non-academic – gather, analyze and use data to determine how well they are accomplishing their mission and goals and to make continuous improvements based on assessment results.

Each academic program and non-academic unit at FSCJ identifies goals and expected outcomes consistent with the mission of the College. Faculty and staff develop and use assessment tools to measure and analyze the degree of their area’s performance and levels of success in achieving their goals. Ultimately, the purpose of assessment is to make improvements based upon the collected data.

The College has authorized APM 02-1601 to provide guidance on compliance with the institutional effectiveness process.

Academic Outcomes Assessment

The ultimate purpose of academic assessment is to focus on the design and improvement of educational experiences to enhance student learning and support appropriate student outcomes for its educational programs. FSCJ’s process for the assessment of student learning is one that supports faculty, as the College’s curriculum experts, to identify and assess program learning outcomes (PLOs). Program faculty annually review or create an assessment plan to measure the extent to which students have achieved the established PLOs. In a given cycle, faculty select outcomes to assess. Key to the process is the analysis of assessment data to make improvements to student learning. The College utilizes the measurement of outcomes and collection of assessment data to examine programs and improve student learning. FSCJ is committed to ensuring that all graduates are well prepared to enter the workforce or continue their education.

General education is a critical element of undergraduate degree programs. In addition to program-level assessment, faculty in the five General Education disciplines collect data assessing the following general education competencies:

  1. Critical thinking
  2. Communication
  3. Global sociocultural responsibility
  4. Information literacy
  5. Scientific and quantitative reasoning

Discipline faculty have the primary responsibility for designing the assignments and instruments used to assess student achievement of the general education learning outcomes, with support and consultation from staff in the Office of Strategic Priorities.

Administrative Outcomes Assessment

The College’s non-academic units also engage in the outcomes assessment process to measure attainment of goals and seek improvements to operations. The purpose of non-academic assessment is to ensure services are provided effectively in order to achieve the mission and goals of the College. Each unit develops goals in alignment with the College mission and Strategic Plan. During each assessment cycle, units develop an assessment plan to measure progress toward their established goals. The data collected in this process is used to inform and improve operations within the unit.

Outcomes Assessment Committees

The purpose of the Outcomes Assessment Committees is to:

  • Provide oversight, guidelines and resources for outcomes assessment activities
  • Review academic and administrative outcomes assessment work to ensure quality
  • Support unit-level development and implementation of academic and administrative outcomes assessment activities
  • Support the College's commitment in establishing outcomes assessment as an ongoing and integral part of its culture and emphasis on quality programs and services
  • Enhance communication about assessment efforts and responsibilities across the College to ensure appropriate stakeholders are actively engaged in the assessment process

Members

The College has two Outcomes Assessment Committees, one academic and one administrative. The members of the Outcomes Assessment Committees reflect the diversity of units and programs and ensure broad-based involvement of employee groups. Committee members include faculty, career employees, administrative and professional employees and senior management.
