The QEP, or Quality Enhancement Plan, at Troy University (TROY) is an integral component of the reaffirmation of accreditation process with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on College (SACSCOC). The QEP reflects and affirms the University’s commitment to enhance overall institutional quality and effectiveness by focusing on an issue the institution considers important to improving student learning outcomes and/or student success. A QEP is initiated with the University’s ten-year SACSCOC reaffirmation process, with a significant progress report during the fifth-year interim report, and is meant to become institutionalized upon the completion of the plan.
“Internationally Aware, Globally Prepared” is TROY’s current QEP, which began during the University’s 2019 reaffirmation process to help TROY achieve comprehensive internationalization. The plan focuses on two independent but complementary initiatives: increasing global scholarship among students, and promoting global awareness among faculty and staff. By 2025, each of the five academic colleges at TROY will boast its own fully implemented Global Scholars Program as a complement to the University Honors Program, and TROY-specific intercultural competency training will be fully developed and available for all faculty, staff, and administrators.
