Tennessee Accreditation Network

Overview

The Tennessee Higher Education Commission (THEC) in collaboration with SACSCOC accredited institutions across the state has developed the Tennessee
Accreditation Network (TAN). The purpose behind TAN is to establish a space for institutions to share resources and tools as they work to meet accreditation needs.

Identity Statement

The Tennessee Accreditation Network is a group of accreditation liaisons representing higher education institutions across the State of Tennessee that
are dedicated to improving the academic quality, accountability, and self and peer evaluation processes of member institutions.

Mission Statement

The mission of the Tennessee Accreditation Network is to support the accreditation efforts of Tennessee higher education institutions through the collective
knowledge, ongoing experiences, and shared resources of its members.

Vision Statement

The Tennessee Accreditation Network will be a valuable resource for public and private member institutions as it inspires its members to grow in knowledge,
experience, and service to their respective constituents.

AIMs

We, the Tennessee Accreditation Network, will accomplish our mission by:   

Aim #1—encouraging continuous improvement in quality and innovation;

Aim #2—sharing our collective accreditation and assessment expertise through professional development activities, networking, and mentoring;

Aim #3—sharing institutional resources to include good practices and institutional data and information; and

Aim #4—providing a collective voice among the accreditation community.
