Abstract
Description
Presently it seems that every corner of modern society is concerned with quality. Higher education institutions including private colleges (especially chiropractic colleges) in the United Kingdom, Europe, and North America have had to come to grips with the quality ethos as well. This paper sets the stage for an institution's investigations and measurements of its own quality by defining what quality in higher education is. The five aspects used to define quality which are important in higher education are being exceptional, perfection, transformation, fitness for purpose, and value for money. Each aspect is discussed in detail and specific examples are used to identify the strengths and weaknesses of each as it related to chiropractic education.
