Academic Program Review

Program Review Annual Timeline

• Each academic program is reviewed on a 4‐year cycle and the entire process takes approximately one year to complete. Involved in the review are the department (faculty and chair), the college deans, dean of the Graduate School (for graduate programs), the University Program Review Committee, and the Senior Associate Vice President for Institutional Effectiveness
  and Strategic Enrollment Management and the Provost.
• The annual program review is a thoughtful assessment focused on continuous improvement. The process is expected to strengthen the academic programs as well as identify program needs and campus priorities.  Each self-study is in alignment with HLC criterion and informs the annual academic program portfolios presented to the Kansas Board of Regents (KBOR). 
• The steps and amount of time allocated to each are described below. On an 8-year cycle, the Executive Vice President & Provost reports each degree program to the Kansas Board of Regents using criteria established by the Board.
