Abstract | The globalization of higher education has resulted in a number of British institutions applying for American accreditation. In 2002, the UK Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education admitted its first American member. All these institutions must therefore confront the need to satisfy two very different approaches to the assurance of quality and the maintenance of academic standards. This paper explores these two systems, and the very different philosophies that under pin them. Can these two approaches be reconciled? Can they be merged into one system embracing higher-education institutions in both countries? (Contains 19 footnotes.) (Author). |
