http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/86116586

The Alabama Commission on Higher Education serves as a coordinating body for postsecondary education to ensure that the highest possible quality of collegiate and university education is offered (AAC, 300-1-2-.01 [1-2]). As part of this service, the Commission through its Program Review Section, provides for the review and approval of all nonresident institutions to make certain that proposed courses meet acceptable academic standards before any prospective students enroll (AAC, 300-2-1-.02 [1]). Nonresident institutions are those based outside the state that operate a branch in Alabama. This series consists of nonresident institution review files which provide a historical profile of nonresident institutions' activities in the state. Typical records found in these files include correspondence with a nonresident institution and the State Board of Education regarding proposed programs; resolutions; regulations; applications for review; reports of the Program Review section recommending approval or disapproval of a program including suggestions for program improvement; activity files for the review and approval of current operations, exempt operations, previous operations, resident public institutions, and resident private institutions; and an inventory of all nonresident institutions operating in the state.
