- Abstract
- The higher education has explosively expanded since 1945; however its quality has not caught up
with its quantitative growth. This article deals with the 'accreditation system in higher education' as
an institutional device that may solve that kind of quality problems. The accreditation of higher
education in Korea so far has developed along three different stages. First, from 1945 to 1971, the
officer-monopolizing accreditation was carried out by the Ministry of Education. Second, from 1972
to 1981, a group of expert officers and scholars did the accreditation job as higher-education reform
program. And third, from 1982 up to now the self-evaluation has been carried out by an autonomous
body composed of universities and colleges. In order to make it possible for the accreditation system in
higher education to succesfully do its own function and to be institutionalized this article proposes
prescriptive models-namely accreditation-institutes model and process model-which can improve
and/or supplement the existing accreditation system.
