Goals of the Self-Study

The expected goals of our Self-Study are as follows:

1. To demonstrate, through a comprehensive self-study, that Touro meets the MSCHE accreditation standards.
2. To energize and galvanize the Touro University community to participate in a transparent and reflective self-appraisal process.
3. To empower all constituencies of the University community with a voice in the self-study process in order to deepen institutional self-understanding and consensus.
4. To assess the impact of institutional changes and renewal in the past five years on the operations, missions and goals, and strategic plan of the University.
5. To identify, both in academic and in administrative areas, institutional strengths as well as weaknesses, and to make appropriate recommendations for improvements.
6. To enhance ongoing assessment processes and the use of results throughout the institution.
7. To identify challenges Touro is likely to face in the future and to suggest strategies for addressing them.
8. To craft a self-study document that can serve as a guide for future institutional planning, change, growth, and renewal.

In essence, the self-study will serve both to evaluate Touro’s current performance and as a planning document for the future of the institution.
