Program Review Updates

 

The Office of Program Review congratulates the following programs and departments for completing their program review this academic year: Child and Adolescent Development, Modern and Classical Languages and Literatures, Physics and Astronomy and Political Science. Looking to the future, the departments of Deaf Studies and Linguistics and Teaching English as a Second Language, as well as the American Indian Studies program have external reviews scheduled for spring semester. The departments of Anthropology, Jewish Studies, Recreation and Tourism Management, and Religious Studies have hosted their external review and are in the final stages of the program review cycle. The Office of Program Review proudly presented the progress of those programs and departments to the Chancellor’s Office in the annual report.

Will your department or program be launching its program review soon? VISCOM has created an introductory video for the Office of Program Review as a resource to all programs undergoing or preparing for a review. Please find it here or on the Program Review website.
