Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP)
for Milligan College
What is a QEP?
QEP stands for Quality Enhancement Plan. The QEP is a required initiative that outlines a new, long-term program chosen by the college to enhance learning for its students. A QEP is designed to complement a college's existing programs to improve the college's learning environment, strengthen student learning outcomes, and support the mission of the institution.
A QEP includes the following components:
- a focused topic, directly related to student learning
- clear goals
- adequate resources in place to implement the plan
- evaluation strategies for assessing the achievement of the QEP goals
- institution-wide development and support of the plan
Development and implementation of Milligan's QEP:
- assessed the current state of student learning at the college (2009-10)
- identified a preliminary list of topics (Faculty Retreat, Fall 2009)
- gathered topic recommendations and input from faculty and students (Fall 2010)
- evaluated topics based on their viability and fit with the college mission (Spring-Fall 2010)
- selected topic (Spring 2011)
- developed the plan (Summer-Fall 2011)
- undergo evaluation and campus visit by SACS (March 2012)
- implement the plan (2012-2016)
- measure and evaluate the results of the plan (2012-2016)
