Accreditation Implementation Task Force November 2005 Draft Report

At its October 2004 meeting, the SOA Board of Governors passed the following motion:

"The Board of Governors accepts and approves the Report of the Task Force on Academic Infrastructure. The Board approves, in principle, the undertaking of a process of accreditation for academic actuarial science programs, consistent with the recommendations contained in the Report, and appoints an Implementation Task Force to establish the rules and procedures of such accreditation process. The Implementation Working Group is to report its completed task to the Board at its June 2005, meeting."

The Board had agreed to defer the report's due date in order to allow for the opportunity to obtain feedback from a broad range of potentially interested constituencies through this posting.

The Accreditation Implementation Task Force (AITF) has posted the report that was presented at the November 2005 Board of Governors Meeting. The excerpt includes the proposed criteria and structure for an accreditation system, as well as a draft application form. (For convenience, you may use the table of contents to navigate through the excerpt.)

Consideration of the recommendations in this report are deferred until the Board receives the report from the Alternate Route Further Study Task Force.
