The state reviews vary widely in their focus and purpose. Some approvals are aimed at “consumer protection” regulations, while others focus on educational quality and learning outcomes. Some of the reviews provide the University with valuable information; others are less productive for this formative purpose.
An example of a state licensure process that includes accountability, quality assurance, and academic performance is the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education. Webster offers primarily applied masters degree programs in South Carolina at Charleston (1975-), Myrtle Beach (1976-), Beaufort Naval Hospital/MCAS Beaufort (1979-), Fort Jackson (1983-), Greenville (1993-), and Columbia (2001-). In 2007, the S.C. Commission recommended a reorganization of the academic structure of Webster’s operations. Working with the Commission, new full-time academic positions were created, including statewide coordinators and campus program heads.
