Self Evaluation On-Site Visit Committee Frequently Asked Questions Home

Self-Evaluation

The first step in the accreditation process is a detailed self-evaluation of the program seeking accreditation. A joint effort among the Steering Committee, faculty, and staff of the College of Forest Resources, the self-evaluation provides information on the Master of Forest Resources in Forest Management, College and University support and available resources, faculty backgrounds, and current and past students. This self-evaluation will be sent to the review team and SAF’s Committee on Accreditation 1 month prior to the on-site visit.
