Preparing Students for a
Future with Technology
What is a QEP?
It’s the Quality Enhancement Plan, a significant component of our SACS (Southern Association of Colleges and Schools) reaccreditation process. A QEP, as defined by SACS, is “a carefully designed and focused course of action that addresses a well-defined topic or issue related to enhancing student learning.” Our QEP provides us the opportunity to develop an active and targeted five-year plan to improve some aspect of the education of USC Upstate students. Our QEP proposal must be submitted to SACS in late 2011.
What is the topic?
The topic of USC Upstate's Quality Enhancement Plan is "Preparing Students for a Future with Technology."
Who is involved?
One of the SACS requirements for the QEP is that the entire university community – faculty, students, staff, and administrators— be involved in the selection of the QEP topic.
