Accreditation Process The accreditation process now in place for member institutions of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) provides for a cycle that is directly connected to the distinctive context of Point Loma Nazarene University (PLNU). The process focuses heavily on two Core Commitments: Commitment to Capacity and Commitment to Educational Effectiveness. That is, PLNU is asked to demonstrate a clear purpose, integrity, fiscal responsibility, and the organizational structures and processes essential to fulfilling the University's purposes. In addition, PLNU must provide evidence of clear and appropriate educational objectives together with assessment protocols that ensure student accomplishments at a level appropriate to the degree awarded. |
