This is a comprehensive report about the degree programs offered. It contains the departmental vision, mission, goals, and recommendations based on an analysis of the program and measurable performance indicators. The findings confirm the program's relevance and viability within the context of the university's strategic and accountability plans. The document focuses on program performance based on an analysis of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Challenges (SWOC) and charts a course of continuous program improvement. The academic unit has the responsibility to develop the report.
For programs undergoing, or that have undergone, specialized accreditation within the past seven (7) years, any self-studies that were produced for the accreditation agencies could be used to complement the necessary information/data for those programs within the report. The departmental program review team should include the department chair or designee, one or more senior faculty members of the department, staff, and a broad range of stakeholders. The college dean or designee needs to approve the report prior to submission to Academic Planning and Accountability (APA) for review and approval.
