A novel self-assessment methodology for accreditation of undergraduate programs [Una metodología novedosa de autoevaluación para la acreditación de programas universitarios]

Abstract

In this article, a self-assessment methodology is designed for the accreditation of high quality undergraduate academic programs. Based on the requirements of the National Accreditation Council (CNA) of Colombia, activities for weighing, data collection, assessment and action plans are analyzed. It is found that the proposed methodology standardizes the self-evaluation process, provides objective results, and offers more time to analyze results and to generate continuous improvement plans in any undergraduate program. © 2017.
