Academic Program Review
The purpose of an academic program review is to examine, assess, and strengthen programs. The areas in which program quality are evaluated include, but are not limited to:
- quality of educational programs, including an assessment of student outcomes,
- quality of research, creative activity, or scholarly work,
- quality of outreach activities and service to the University, the profession, and the community,
- contribution or importance of the program to other campus programs, and
- potential and future expectations for the program.
The review is intended to enhance the quality of a program and to assist in determining a program’s ability to respond to future challenges and opportunities; to evaluate strengths and weaknesses, and thus, determine future priorities; and to aid in shaping the program’s development plan.
