Do academic disciplines matter? An analysis of organizational responses to the accreditation of graduate programs by field of study and sector

Accreditation in higher education has become omnipresent and, on many occasions, has been used as a synonym for quality assurance. The establishment of accreditation agencies as a worldwide phenomenon, however, is relatively recent in the history of higher education. Through a predominantly qualitative approach, this paper aims to analyze how programs from different academic disciplines perform in terms of the accreditation of graduate programs in Argentina and how different programs respond to the same accreditation process. Additionally, it analyzes the performance of private sector programs. As expected, academic disciplines play a vital role in the accreditation process, programmatic performance, and responses to this quality assurance mechanism while sector may not play a vital role. Surprisingly, soft pure programs perform better than both hard and soft applied programs. The results highlight the importance of considering both the paradigm (hard or soft) and level application (pure or applied) when analyzing the role of academic disciplines in higher education studies.

Most countries, developing as well as developed, have adopted some type of quality assurance mechanism. Argentina is neither an island nor an outlier in higher education reforms in general. This study is based on case study design and involved extensive fieldwork to collect interviews and official documents. This article analyzes the regulatory framework that established compulsory accreditation by identifying the main actors involved, the external factors that affect compliance, and university and program responses to them. The findings show that the regulatory framework is plagued by issues of coordination and overlap among agencies, affecting levels of compliance and types of responses at the organizational level. While the structure of incentives is clear, there are no clear sanctions or credible threats. Yet, programs tend to comply with accreditation. The study shows great variability among academic disciplines and types of programs. Findings are linked to developments in other developed and developing countries.

En este artículo se analiza la evolución histórica de las universidades privadas argentinas con especial referencia a las últimas décadas. Se analiza su relevante expansión reciente y se destaca que los controles de calidad explícitos existentes en el país han generado un sistema de calidad superior a los existentes en los otros países de la región que han seguido modelos de “absorción de demanda” con peso casi exclusivo de los programas de docencia. La experiencia de estas décadas indica que las universidades privadas han sido capaces de sobrevivir en períodos de crisis económicas globales para expandirse en momentos de auge económico, y que estas tendencias tienden a mantenerse.
