Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools (TRACS)
Reaffirmation Visit held on July 27, 28, & 29, 2022
After its five (5) years of initial accreditation, American University of Health Sciences was scheduled for a Reaffirmation Visit held on July 27, 28, & 29, 2022. Preparation towards the reaffirmation required all schools – leadership, faculty, and staff – commitment to ensure that we present quality and substantive evidence-based outcomes of our performance as an institution.
There were 17 standards divided into Accreditation requirements and Federal requirements. Listed below are the components under each standard. Each component has sub-components that we, as an institution need to demonstrate continued compliance since our initial accreditation.
- Accreditation Requirements (Standards 1-16)
- Faith Statement
- Mission and Name
- Institutional Objectives
- Institutional Integrity
- Operational Authority
- Organizational Structure
- Publications and Policies
- Educational Programs
- Faculty
- Student Services
- Financial Operations
- Institutional Assessment
- Strategic Planning
- Library and Learning Resources
- Facilities and Equipment
- Health and Security
- Federal Requirements (Standard 17)
With much pride, we share with all of you that we met all standards with only three (3) recommendations and eight (8) suggestions. AUHS is scheduled for TRACS reaffirmation hearing before the TRACS commission meeting on October 25, 2022.
On behalf of the Board of Trustees, Senior Executive Administration, I would like to extend our sincerest appreciation to all of you, and to those who participated in the interview with the evaluators. All schools were represented in this interview including students and alumni. We express special appreciation to Gregory Tillman who willingly took care of the transportation driving, and Ivy Javaluyas for seamless coordination of the TRACS visit.
At this reaffirmation visit, we demonstrated and exemplified our institutional traits of collaborative efforts, one mindset and one goal – and so I end this report with my adopted theme of:
We work as one, we hold the line, and we do not break!!
With God’s blessings, we are graced with an abundance of opportunities to be the greatest university in the world (from prayer of Pastor Gregory Johnson, Cofounder).
