Narrative: The quality
of educational programs/courses offered through consortia relationships or
contractual agreements is assessed by means of national accrediting bodies such
as the State Board of Nursing, Committee on Accreditation for Respiratory Care,
etc. SACS periodically accredits the
community colleges that offer these educational programs/courses. The contractual agreements are reviewed
periodically. (By-law/consortia agreements,
Ref.
3.4.7-1 and 3.4.7-2) (Sample agenda and reports, Ref. 3.3.7-3
and 3.4.7-4). MECC also offers dual enrollment
courses. The instructors are selected
and ranked by the college. Copies of the
Memorandum of Understanding for each county are kept on file in the College
President’s office. (Sample MOU, Ref.
3.4.7-5) For health science
programs, MECC also works under Clinical Affiliation Agreements with various
hospitals and medical facilities. These
Clinical Affiliation Agreements are kept on file by the respective program’s
director or clinical director (Sample Clinical Affiliation Agreement, Ref.
3.4.7-6).
