Meetings 279 Proposal for Extension of Autonomous Status ABOUT THE COLLEGE The American College, Madurai, TN 1 Proposal for Extension of Autonomous Status ABOUT THE COLLEGE The American College, the foster and brain child of the Missionaries of the American – Madura Mission was born in the year 1842. In the past 134 years, having grown to be the mother of education the college nurtures and nourishes the students with quality higher education. In this present world, where the values vanish away, the College offers a value based education with a view to produce responsible graduates, who shall be of a great asset to themselves and to the nation. The American College, which was originally affiliated to the University of Madras has been brought into the affiliation of the Madurai Kamaraj University. The College always being a pioneer institution in higher education introduced the semester system in 1970. Then with the impetus provided by the Kothari Commission the College became one of the first twelve colleges to be made Autonomous in the year 1977-78. Exploiting the privilege of Autonomy, the College introduced the concept of choice – based courses both at undergraduate and postgraduate levels in the year 1978 itself and got the reputation of becoming the first institution to initiate such a bold innovation in the whole of the country. The same system was revamped in the year 2002-2003 as Choice Based Credit System (CBCS), a paradigm shift that helped students to make fruitful and responsible choices of their own in the learning process. The CBCS passed through its second and third phases in 2002 and 2008 respectively allowing horizontal and vertical mobility to the students. The College, based on the norms stipulated by the UGC and the Madurai Kamaraj University offers 27 undergraduate programmes, 17 postgraduate programmes and 9 research programmes leading to M.Phil. Degree. Nine departments have been elevated as Research Centres for doing Ph.D. Programmes. The American College that flourishes academically also shines forth in carrying out many major projects successfully. To commemorate the hundred The American College, Madurai, TN 2 Proposal for Extension of Autonomous Status and twenty fifth year of the College, a Satellite Campus was established on a 59 – acre land at the foot of the Western Ghats in the outskirts of the city in 2006. Memorandums of Understanding were signed with International Institutions like Appalachian University (2007); Hildesheim University (2009); Jingling, China (2010) and Concordia College, USA (2015). Stretching out a helping hand in serving and empowering the rural masses the College has also started a Community College with the grants from the UGC with the following three specializations: i) Diploma in Medical Lab Technology ii) Diploma in Aqua Culture iii) Diploma in Food Processing and Preservations In addition to these achievements the College revises the syllabi of the departments periodically, makes reforms in examination and valuation patterns depending on the need. The College has also started many new Courses that would provide better job opportunities to the students. The American College with many academic laurels was accredited with Five Stars in 2000. The Autonomy Review Committee visited the College in the years 2002 and 2009 and extended the Autonomy of the College. The College has been re-accredited by NAAC providentially this year, scoring Grade “A” CGPA of 3.46 on a 4-point scale to its credit and is now looking forward to a giant leap of achieving CPE status. Though the unsaid achievements and developments of the College are many, they are not certainly inferior to those said above. The American College strives to fulfill its objective, “to give students of all creeds, primarily of Christian Community a liberal Christian higher education, to train them in the service of God and humanity and to do such other things as are in harmony with that object”. The College built on the foundation laid with the mortar mixed with the sacrificial sweat of the American Missionaries marches towards its goal triumphantly.
