II-7. The institution
a. offers one or more degree programs based on at least 60 semester credit hours or the equivalent at the associate level; at least 120 semester credit hours or the equivalent at the baccalaureate level; or at least 30 semester credit hours or the equivalent at the post-baccalaureate level.
b. The institution offers degree programs that embody a coherent course of study that includes a cohesive sequence of courses, are compatible with its stated purpose, and are based upon fields of study appropriate to higher education.
c. The institution offers undergraduate degrees, a substantial component of which comprises a general education program at the collegiate level that ensures breadth of knowledge and is based on a coherent rationale. For degree completion in associate programs, the component constitutes a minimum of 15 semester hours or the equivalent; for baccalaureate programs, a minimum of 30 semester hours or the equivalent. Credit hours are to be drawn from and include at least one course from each of the following areas: humanities/fine arts; social/behavioral sciences; and natural sciences/mathematics. The courses do not narrowly focus on those skills, techniques, and procedures specific to a particular occupation or profession.
d. The institution may make arrangements for some instruction to be provided by other accredited institutions or entities through contracts or consortia. The institution itself, however, provides instruction for all coursework required for at least one degree program at each level at which it awards degrees or provides an alternative approach to meeting this requirement. The alternative approach is approved by the Commission on Colleges. In all cases, the institution demonstrates that it controls all aspects of its educational program.
