96. Ensuring academic excellence at CEPT University

97. By Fostering Cooperation
• A number of presently separate graduate programs will be
consolidated
• These consolidated programs will be cooperatively managed; key
graduate-level foundation courses will be cooperatively taught
• Many foundation level undergraduate courses, which are mandatory
requirements in multiple faculties and presently taught separately will
be consolidated and hosted by one faculty
• Research centers in the CEPT University Collaborative will foster joint
work research projects

98. By Promoting Competition
• Continuance of programs/majors will depend primarily on levels of
student registrations
• Faculties budgets will depend directly on the number of students
(from other faculties) registered with them
• Research grants will be allocated only through competitive selection
procedures

99. By Seeking and Providing Feedback
• Student feedback will provide key inputs for course and faculty
appraisals
• Faculties and programs will systematically seek international
accreditation
• Alumni inputs will be actively sought
