STANDARDS.




STANDARDS.

CAS has developed 50 sets of functional area standards and 3 cross-functional
frameworks for higher education programs and services. Users can order CAS
Professional Standards for Higher Education book (2023, Version 11), which
includes general standards for practice and functional area standards, from
the CAS online store. As part of Version 11, CAS has updated all functional area
standards and accompanying self-assessment guides (SAGs); in addition, several
new sets of individual functional areas are included for the first time, and
many others have been significantly revised. The newest SAGs, which include a
revised structure and rating scale, provide individuals and institutions with
means for assessing program and service effectiveness based on the standards
(available as downloadable electronic documents from the online CAS store).

functional area standards are defined as "The set of specific standards and
guidelines, with the embedded general standards, that apply to one functional
area program or service. Often referred to as the CAS Standards for (insert
functional area name)." (CAS, 2023). As of 2023, there are 50 sets of CAS
functional area standards.

cross-functional frameworks are defined as "An approach for addressing emerging,
evolving, and ongoing issues or topics from a multi- and inter-disciplinary
perspective through teams of higher education professionals from different
fields or functional areas." (CAS, 2023).

self-assessment guides (SAGs) are defined as "an operational version of the CAS
standards and guidelines designed to provide users with an assessment tool that
can be used for self-study or self-assessment purposes. A SAG is available for
each functional area for which a CAS standard exists" (CAS, 2023)
