Continuous Improvement/Academic Quality Improvement Program
In February 2004 Eastern Michigan University was accepted into the Academic
Quality Improvement Program (AQIP). This alternative accreditation process is more intense and efficient, uses faster cycles of improvement, involves faculty more directly in all academic improvement processes, maintains an institution's status with the Department of Education, and emphasizes an institution's distinctive needs and aspirations.
Goals

in to the culture of the University.Demonstrate the University meets standards through an ongoing sequence of
