Tennessee Accreditation Network
Overview
The Tennessee Higher Education Commission (THEC) in collaboration with SACSCOC accredited institutions across the state has developed the Tennessee
Accreditation Network (TAN). The purpose behind TAN is to establish a space for institutions to share resources and tools as they work to meet accreditation needs.
Identity Statement
The Tennessee Accreditation Network is a group of accreditation liaisons representing higher education institutions across the State of Tennessee that
are dedicated to improving the academic quality, accountability, and self and peer evaluation processes of member institutions.
Mission Statement
The mission of the Tennessee Accreditation Network is to support the accreditation efforts of Tennessee higher education institutions through the collective
knowledge, ongoing experiences, and shared resources of its members.
Vision Statement
The Tennessee Accreditation Network will be a valuable resource for public and private member institutions as it inspires its members to grow in knowledge,
experience, and service to their respective constituents.
