QEP Topic Selection Committee Charge and Scope

The purpose of the Provost’s QEP Topic Selection Committee is to identify potential QEP topics based on Georgia Tech’s Strategic Plan 2020-2030: Progress and Service for All and Georgia Tech’s Transformative Teaching & Learning Strategy, collect existing data and campus input relevant to those topics, and recommend a specific topic for QEP development for Georgia Tech’s reaffirmation of accreditation. 

As defined by the SACSCOC, the QEP describes a carefully designed course of action that addresses a well-defined and focused topic or issue related to enhancing student learning, and the QEP’s topic should be identified through the institution’s ongoing, integrated, institution-wide planning and evaluation process.
