Program Review
All programs undergo review every three years according to the program review schedule.
The major purpose of Program Review is to ensure high quality educational programs. Program Review is a process that evaluates the status, effectiveness, and progress of programs and helps identify the future direction, needs, and priorities of those programs. It should integrate assessment of student learning into plans to promote positive and forward-looking change in programs.
Program Review is closely connected to strategic planning, resource allocation, and other decision-making at the program, division, and college-level. The Program Review process should focus on improvements that can be made using resources that currently are available to the program. In cases where proposed program improvements and expansions that would require additional resources, need and priority for additional resources should be clearly specified.
Program Reviews should be completed every 3 years, unless a different schedule is dictated by an outside accreditation body. Approximately one-third of the Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs will be reviewed annually.
