» Program Review

Program review is a cyclical process of comprehensive evaluation of a program’s efficacy, resources, and strategic goals. Academic and key co-curricular programs all undergo review at least once every 7 years.

Program review includes the production of a detailed self-study, a site visit and report from an external review team, feedback from faculty governance bodies (Long Range Planning Council, Assessment Committee, and Undergraduate and/or Graduate Academic Council), and recommendations from the Office of the Provost to guide programs in closing the loop.

The goals of program review are to:

  • Improve student learning and the educational experience
  • Assess program quality and effectiveness
  • Reflect on the alignment of program goals with the institutional mission and strategic initiative
  • Provide data and evidence to support programmatic and institutional planning, budgeting, and decision-making.
