There is a growing emphasis on outcomes assessment in higher education. Colleges, universities, and seminaries are being challenged by accrediting associations, government regulatory agencies, and other constituencies to prove that students who graduate deserve the degrees that are granted. Although many higher education institutions are struggling to accomplish this, the competency-based orientation of the leadership development programs makes it possible for the Antioch School to grant degrees with confidence. The Antioch School relies on an extensive, robust portfolio assessment system to provide abundant evidence and academic validation that its students deserve the degrees that are being granted. In terms of being competency-based, the Antioch School is already far ahead of the curve.
