Does CAA have different expectations for student outcomes when a program is offered through multiple delivery modes (i.e. residential, satellite, distance education)?
No. The CAA applies the same benchmarks for student outcomes regardless of the mode of educational delivery. The CAA requests data specific to each delivery mode be provided in response to this standard, which allows the effectiveness of each delivery mode that comprise the program’s accreditation to be verified. The CAA determined that programs should be held to the same benchmark and thereby not disadvantage students participating in one component over another.
