Frequently Asked Questions About the Accreditation Standards
 
3. How do we show that we have a particular process in place at our school? Must every process be documented in writing?

The emphasis on process requires some attention to how that term is defined. In a word, it should be interpreted "broadly." Processes that lead to continuously improving management education may come in many guises and with many labels. Persons might call them systems, processes, behavior patterns, or just "how we do things here." They may be identified by observing written policy statements, procedural handbooks, statements about habitual practices, or they simply may be a part of the "understood" culture of the campus. The accreditation standards don't insist that the processes be identified in any particular way, i.e., there need not be written policy statements describing each process. However, some demonstration is necessary to show that the process exists, operates effectively, and ensures continuous improvement.
