ABSTRACT: Underdeveloped countries have realized that the investment and the improvement in higher education are very important for the progress. This is evident in the number of new universities and institutes of higher learning are established in the last 20 - 30 years. In these universities, administrative processes are well established but academic processes are not. Accreditation bodies such as ABET do not dictate any specific assessment process but want each candidate program to have an assessment process that is reliable and can find out weak points in the program to continuously improve. This paper describes a successful assessment process adopted at College of Computers and Information Technology, Taif University.
