  abstract =     "Accreditation, considered to be the one formal
                 mechanism for assessing quality in the postsecondary
                 environment, focuses on determining and encouraging
                 acceptable levels of educational quality. In
                 particular, specialized program accreditation is
                 purported to enhance program quality. This exploratory
                 study used a nationwide mail questionnaire to a
                 stratified random sampling of 100 department heads of
                 the units administering baccalaureate Computer Science
                 programs. The purpose was to gain an understanding of
                 how Computer Science programs and departments were
                 related to selected indicators of faculty and program
                 quality. Several differences and some similarities
                 exist between the accredited and non-accredited groups.
                 The median of the data for each indicator suggested a
                 quality breakpoint to be used in defining two indices.
                 It was found that for each of the two indices, the
                 accredited group outperformed the non-accredited group
                 by thirty percent. The implication is that Computer
                 Science programs that follow accreditation guidelines
                 have the potential for increasing their quality
                 indicators.",
