AQIP at Cowley
Cowley College is a quality-driven institution that is committed to a systematic approach to continuous
quality improvement.
Our dedication to learning excellence
and personal enrichment ensures that
our administration, faculty and staff promote quality education to all of our students.
AQIP was launched in July 1999 with a generous grant from the Pew Charitable Trusts. AQIP, the Academic Quality Improvement Program, infuses the principles and benefits of continuous improvement into the culture of colleges and universities by providing an alternative process through which an already-accredited institution can maintain and reaffirm its accreditation from the Higher Learning Commission, www.ncahigherlearningcommission.org, (800) 621-7440, and membership in the North Central Association. With AQIP, an institution demonstrates it meets accreditation standards and expectations through sequences of events that align with those ongoing activities that characterize organizations striving to improve their performance.
