How was the schedule for program reviews determined?
In the spring of 1999 department heads and program directors were surveyed regarding their preferred year for undergoing the full program review process, and the APRC honored those requests. In some cases, department heads indicated a preference for scheduling program review in the year or two prior to scheduled review by an accrediting body, so that the feedback from internal program review could be used in preparing for external accreditation review. In other cases, department heads asked to schedule full program review around other events or variables, such as major program changes, internal reorganization, retirements in key faculty positions, etc.
