Program Review Process

Major Components of the Program Review

Program self-study: The program self-study is the first component of the five-year program review and is conducted by the faculty or staff who are directly involved with the program.
External review: Each program must undergo an external review by distinguished colleagues outside the University who are familiar with the field, discipline, or profession undergoing a program review.
Internal review: The internal review process is conducted by the ASLC a panel of University colleagues, who review and offer feedback on the assessment of learning outcomes and the use of evidence to support recommendations for program improvement that surface from the program’s self-study and the input of the external review team.
Memorandum of understanding (MOU): The dean and program faculty negotiate a MOU that delineates the agreed up recommendations, plan of action, timeline for meeting the program needs, and the method for tracking improvements.
Planning and budgeting: The UPC and President’s Cabinet sets priorities for planning and budgeting with the deans.
