Program curricular review, conducted on a five-year cycle, provides academic departments with an opportunity to assess the curricular design of their programs, compare their designs with other institutions’ designs, evaluate the enrollment and graduation statistics of the programs, as well as to assess and analyze any aspects of the program that may affect the attainment of student learning outcomes (e.g., faculty, facilities and equipment). Each fall, based on the ongoing, cyclical timeline, assigned departments receive a link to the program review template pre-populated with demographic and faculty data, and department faculty participate in a training session concerning the process and requirements for the review.  Throughout the year, faculty complete the program review with assistance from Assessment Facilitators in the Office of Institutional Effectiveness.

Departments are urged to develop action plans, as needed, for the improvement of the curricular design and to project budgetary needs for the next five years.
