In an effort to meet the accrediting criteria of the Southern Association of Schools and Colleges, South Carolina Technical College undertook a comprehensive external evaluation of its continuing education program. Both process and products associated with the continuing education program were assessed using newly-generated and existing data. Additionally, a practical model of program evaluation was developed to ensure that the institution would continue to meet accrediting requirements. The process used in developing the model included a survey of faculty and administrators, a sampling of course evaluations, analysis of qualitative information in the institution's database, and examination of advisory committee meeting minutes. The resulting model includes these components: establishment of mission, goals, and standards and continual documentation of related meetings; determination of at least one outcome standard for each goal; assessment of program effectiveness in terms of these standards, based on the above process; implementation of needed changes; and review of the mission, goals, and standards. It is concluded that the model offers a well-rounded and thorough approach to assessment satisfactory to any accrediting body. (Contains 10 references.) (Author/MSE)
