Academic Program Periodic Review and Self Study happens on an 8-10 year cycle.
Academic units (departments or programs) prepare a self-study during the academic year, and submit a draft to the Dean, the Associate Provost for Academic Programs, the APC Assessment Committee, and School Assessment Committee for formative feedback. APC-A and the School Assessment Committee focus exclusively on the section of the report that discusses curriculum and assessment.
A final self-study report, including a report by an external reviewer and an action plan, is submitted to the Dean, the Provost, and the APC Assessment Committee. At this time, APC-A issues recommendations to the dean and the provost regarding the curriculum and assessment plans. APC-A reports on its findings to APC Full either at its last meeting in the spring semester or at the first meeting in the fall of the following year.
Please see the full schedule for academic unit program review, from 2026 through 2033, which includes programs with national accreditation.
