What is Required

Overview

Both the Comprehensive Academic Program Review and the Annual Planning and Development processes begin with reflection on three years of program data provided by the Office of Institutional Effectiveness, Planning and Research. Programs are encouraged to include other relevant data as part of this reflection. In both processes, program faculty write narrative components that include progress on action plans, significant student learning outcome assessment findings, external constituency and significant trends, and self-assessment of academic program vitality. The process also includes establishing and updating program goals and plans of action, along with fiscal resource requests and adjustments. Every three years, as part of the Comprehensive Academic Program Review, programs also include additional reflections on student success, student learning outcomes and faculty success, as well as curriculum and mission alignment.
