Abstract
The process of accrediting an academic program is in many cases cumbersome. However, in many cases after obtaining the accreditation, the implementation of continuous improvement plans is even more difficult. Especially because the students, who are one of the actors in the process, do not stay at the university for long. In this article we present some strategies implemented in the process of continuous improvement of the mining engineering program. The results of these improvements were measured during 2 academic years.
