Academic Program Review

Institutional Assessment and Research (IAR) supports Academic Program Review by providing programs with customized data, guidance and workshops to help faculty understand trends, reflect on effectiveness and use evidence to inform planning and improvement.

IAR's support for Academic Program Review:

  • The summer prior to a program's self-study, Academic Affairs informs IAR which programs will undergo review.
  • IAR provides program review data to the Program Coordinator, Department Chair, and Dean, and schedules a Program Review Workshop.
  • The Academic Affairs Program Review Manual identifies the data IAR provides.
  • Data are provided in late August, and the Program Review Workshop is scheduled for early in the fall term.

IAR is available throughout the process to assist in interpreting the data provided.
