ACICS is pleased to present you with a summary of the Council’s
activities during the fiscal year including our most recent audited
financial report for the organization. The 2003-2004 Annual Report
provides our accredited institutions and the public with an overview
of our four statements of value intended to express what is important
to ACICS within the context of Reauthorization of the Higher
Education Act (HEA). The Council believes that institutions must be
accountable to rigorous educational, administrative and fiscal
standards. We also believe that the ease of transfer of credits will
foster a more equitable higher education community and that we
must continue to foster distance education strategies, student learning
outcomes, and peer review in the accreditation of institutions of
higher education.
As evidence of our work on behalf of our accredited institutions and
the U. S. Department of Education, we provide you herewith a
summary of the evaluation visits conducted at institutions for the past
five years and the final outcomes of those evaluation visits. Council
staff continues to schedule approximately 100 evaluation visits and
consultations during each of three, two-month travel cycles. Based
on positive Council actions, institutions are continuing to experience
overall growth and expansion of programs and services. There is even more good news to report. ACICS is proud to
announce that we now may award a maximum grant length of eight years. For many years, the Council awarded grants
of accreditation from one to six years in length. An eight-year grant of accreditation acknowledges and rewards those
institutions that have demonstrated an understanding of and commitment to our accreditation standards.
As you will see from the characteristics of ACICS-accredited institutions, total enrollment has steadily increased over
the years to more than 430,000 students. Like the increase in student enrollment, the list of ACICS-accredited
institutions also has continued to expand. A current list of accredited institutions, by state, is also provided in this
report.
A review of the Financial Report will indicate that we are healthy in the fiscal realm as well. Both our operating
outcomes and our financial reserves have shown positive results. The ACICS staff is largely responsible for this good
news.
Once again, the full complement of dedicated ACICS staff will continue to provide support to you and to those who
assure and enhance the quality of institutions accredited by ACICS. It is a privilege to serve as your chief
administrative officer and I look forward to another successful year.
Respectfully submitted,
Steven A. Eggland, Ph.D.
ACICS Executive Director
4
It has been my honor and privilege to serve as chair of the Board of
Directors during a remarkable year for ACICS. I am continually
impressed by the commitment and dedication of your Council, the
Executive Director Dr. Steven A. Eggland, and each staff member in
the Council office. Let me assure you that each individual is
committed to the mission of ACICS, which is to advance educational
excellence through the accreditation process of quality assurance and
enhancement as well as ethical business and educational practices.
After a busy year, we present you with the 2003-2004 Annual Report as
evidence of our accomplishments. Operating on a conservative budget,
the Council has produced a balanced budget, continues to monitor the
long-range strategic plan, and reaffirmed our respected status in higher
education.
ACICS has initiated an agreement with The National Court Reporters
Association, and we continue to pursue recognition with The American
Association of Medical Assistants. We will continue to pursue
opportunities that benefit our institution and the students attending
them.
Another exciting project underway and spearheaded by ACICS is the Higher Education Transfer Alliance (HETA),
formerly, the ACICS Transfer Alliance. The issue of transfer of credit remains an important challenge for students who
graduate and wish to continue their education. ACICS’s strategy is to develop a Transfer Alliance or institutional
partnership that would agree on transfer criteria. Institutions participating in the Transfer Alliance would then accept,
in transfer, degrees and credits earned by students from other Transfer Alliance partners. I strongly encourage our
accredited institutions to participate in the Transfer Alliance.
ACICS presented The First Annual Distinguished Service Award to Dr. Lloyd Garrison, at the June, 2004 Annual
Meeting. This award is given annually to a person who has served ACICS or a public educator who made significant
contributions to the career college sector. We have initiated a Public Relations program to present positive public
relations information throughout the year ahead.
ACICS continues to grow, accrediting new institutions and new programs. I urge all of our institutions to participate in
the Annual Meeting in June 2005. We had a record number of institutions participating in the June, 2004 meeting in
Orlando. Please send us suggestions of interest to our institutions so we can continue to improve on the number of
colleges attending and participating in worthwhile workshops.
The ACICS staff continues to provide our accredited institutions with outstanding opportunities to participate in
ACICS-sponsored workshops. I encourage you to participate in any of the workshops to learn more about accreditation
and enhance the quality of your institution. Workshops also provide an excellent venue to meet the entire staff at the
Council office and to network with colleagues.
Again, it has been an exciting and productive year. I would like to thank the Commissioners for their effort and
support of ACICS and our sector. I also commend the entire staff at ACICS for their hard work and commitment.
Most importantly, I thank the Council and ACICS staff for their support of our students.
Sincerely,
Dennis Kerr
ACICS Board of Directors
Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools
ACICS, a non-profit education corporation, was founded
as the National Association of Accredited Commercial
Schools (NAACS) in 1912, and has been recognized by
the United States Secretary of Education since 1956, just
four years after the recognition process was introduced.
ACICS is an independent and autonomous national
accrediting body that accredits institutions of higher
education offering programs of study through the
master’s degree level. The scope of our recognition by
the Secretary is defined as accreditation of private
postsecondary institutions offering certificates or
diplomas and postsecondary institutions offering
associate’s, bachelor’s, or master’s degrees in programs
that are designed to train and educate persons for careers
or professions where business applications or doctrines,
supervisory or management techniques, professional or
paraprofessional applications, and other business-related
applications support or constitute the career.
The Secretary’s re-recognition for the maximum five-
year period confirms that ACICS is “a reliable authority
as to the quality of education or training offered by the
institutions of higher education programs it accredits.”
ACICS accredits over 600 institutions in this country and
abroad, which last year enrolled over 400,000 students.
Over sixty-five percent of these ACICS-accredited
institutions are degree-granting colleges and schools.
The Council is composed of two commissions and an
elected Board of Directors. The two commissions are
the Commission on Postsecondary School
Accreditation (COPSA) and the Commission on
College Accreditation (COCA). COPSA is responsible
for postsecondary institutions that offer certificates,
diplomas, and occupational associate’s degrees, and
COCA assesses collegiate institutions that offer
academic associate’s, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees.
The Board of Directors is composed of the Council
Chair, the Chair-Elect of the Council, the COCA Chair,
the COPSA Chair, a Commissioner-at-Large, and the
Executive Director. The Council Chair and the
Commissioner-at-Large are selected by the Council.
The COPSA and COCA chairs are selected by their
respective commissions. At least one of the Directors
must be a public member.
Commissioners include representatives from ACICS
accredited institutions or other sectors of higher
education and the general public. Public members may
come from business, industry, or the professions. Each
commission consists of seven commissioners, at least
three of whom are elected by the membership and at
least four of whom are appointed. At least one of the
four appointed commissioners on each commission
must be a public member.

Statements of Value
The Council has promulgated four statements of value, which are intended to express what is important to ACICS within
the context of Reauthorization of the Higher Education Act (HEA).
I. Accreditation and Accountability
The Council believes that institutions must be
accountable to rigorous educational, administrative,
and fiscal standards.
ACICS emphasizes educational activities,
making certain institutions are effectively
organizing the educational experience and
effectively educating, graduating, and placing
students.
Accountability is operationalised through
standards on institutional tracking of students’
satisfactory academic progress, institutional
effectiveness planning girded in criteria, and
retention and placement reporting that requires
institutions to account for student achievement
leading to gainful employment.
In addition, ACICS believes accrediting agencies
must monitor fiscal soundness by asking
accredited institutions to produce annual audits,
periodic fiscal reports, and independent financial
statements. Institutions not meeting the
standards may be placed on a reporting regime,
or asked to show cause why their accreditation
should not be suspended, conditioned, or denied.
ACICS also believes that accrediting bodies
should provide quality enhancement services to
accredited institutions and evaluators to promote
continual institutional improvement and insure
compliance with accreditation standards through
substantive workshops, communications, and
training. Quality enhancement must be
encouraged for all institutions and mandated for
institutions not meeting criteria.
II. Accreditation and Transfer of Credit
The Council believes that ease of transfer of students’
academic credits is critical to fostering an open,
equitable, and competency-based higher education
community.
ACICS believes that factors other than origin of
accreditation should be considered in assessing
the appropriateness of students’ transfer credit
from one institution to another.
ACICS also believes that the issue of transfer of
credit needs to be solved proactively within the
accreditation community before it is solved
through legislation. Leadership in this area would
include addressing issues such as needless
coursework duplication and how such duplication
creates a cumbersome system of waste of taxpayer
monies tied to Title IV student aid programs.
ACICS also believes that accrediting agencies
recognized by the U.S. Department of Education
and CHEA should presume that credits earned at
such institutions are of similar quality.
III. Accreditation and Distance Teaching and
Learning
The Council believes that the higher education
community should continue to foster the development of
distance education strategies, while assuring parallel
measures of success and expecting similar student
learning outcomes in a distance environment compared
to residential modes of educational delivery.
Standards in the area of distance education and
nontraditional teaching and learning environments
must be reflective of the innovative methods for
delivering education and opening opportunities for
students who may not have been able to pursue
postsecondary training or higher education in the
past.
ACICS believes that if institutions are offering
high quality educational curricula and have proven
records of quality in educational activities,
administration, and fiscal responsibility, then
distance learning should be treated as any other
mode of delivery – fully vested in terms of Title
IV eligibility. We believe ACICS’ standards and
evaluation practices in assuring quality in distance
delivery and learning are comprehensive and
appropriate.
8
IV. Accreditation, Peer Review, and the Federal
Government
The Council believes in the inherent and historically
validated utility of peer review in the accreditation of
institutions of higher education.
The relationship between the accrediting bodies
and the federal government is almost a half-
century old. ACICS believes it is important to
understand, revisit, and recommit to the
partnership in which the relationship developed.
A system of quality assurance was needed to
insure that veteran, and by extension, taxpayer
monies were well spent. Within a private-public
paradigm, accreditation has come to symbolize,
in a substantive manner, that accredited
institutions and/or programs are of an
appropriate level of quality. Over time this level
of quality has become meaningful to educators,
students, and the public.
The relationship is cost-effective, rooted in peer
and expert evaluation, and signals to students and
the public that institutions and/or programs are
meeting relevant and comprehensive quality
standards. Standards may necessarily address
common denominators, but in the Council’s
perspective the accreditation process fosters a
culture of excellence in assessment and
accountability.
ACICS asserts that periodic evaluation, entered
into voluntarily by institutions and their peers,
enhances the quality of the educational process
and demonstrates that the evaluative environment
of peer review is superior to direct federal and/or
state regulation.
ACICS appreciates the opportunity to communicate
these statements of value to the readers of our
2003-2004 Annual Report. Thank you for your time and
consideration
