X. Program Review
As part of the University's commitment to assure academic excellence and promote continuous quality improvement, academic programs go through periodic external assessment. Together with measures of student learning and faculty member performance, program review provides evidence of how well a unit is meeting the University's defined success criteria. While most entry-level degree programs receive specialized accreditation, that scrutiny tends to focus on meeting minimum thresholds. Program review considers all aspects of program outcomes with the goal of attaining even greater alignment with the University's mission, vision, and core values.
