Accreditation


The individual degree programs will not be
accredited. Accreditation bodies plan to examine
the program support structure at each campus and
extend the campus accreditation to include
distance delivered programs (Steven D. Crow,
Executive Director, The Higher Learning
Commission, North Central Association)
Not only are institutions cooperating, accreditation
bodies are cooperating since GPIDEA institutions
are in several regions (S. D. Crow)
Direct Benefits to MSU





MSU is one of the leaders in building an inter-institutional
distance education degree program (CGS currently working
on INRA, CLTW)
MSU faculty and administrators are interacting with our peers
from ten (and now more) large institutions
We are showcasing MSU talent on a national stage
Distance education programs allow MSU to become a “Super
Land Grant” university, giving rural Montana citizens access
to high quality, post graduate education
The GPIDEA work has produced a campus team with
considerable experience in shaping distance education
policies and procedures
