Accreditation and Continuous Improvement

Accreditation

Eastern Arizona College is a participant in the Higher Learning Commission’s Open Pathway process to maintain accreditation. The Open Pathway model ensures the institution’s compliance with the standard Criteria for Accreditation while encouraging continuous improvement.

Continuous Improvement at EAC

Eastern Arizona College is dedicated to continuous process improvement and has incorporated these practices and principles into the culture and infrastructure of the institution. EAC’s continuous improvement initiatives are governed by a standing committee that is broadly represented by all EAC employee groups. The major continuous improvement initiatives, known as Action Projects, are documented and monitored.
