Program Quality Assurance

Procedures for the Faculty Review of Programs
As a quality assurance measure, program reviews are used to ensure that high standards are achieved in the delivery of programming. Typical program reviews include a self-study and a peer or external review and the participation of a variety of stakeholder including students, faculty, administration, alumni, and representatives from the community and industry. Mandated institutional program reviews may rely on or incorporate reviews conducted for accreditation for outside agencies.
