What is the purpose of the Academic Program Review process?
In 1998 Provost Dr. Barbara Burch established an on-going Academic Program Review Committee (APRC) to provide advice and recommendations regarding the overall health of the university’s academic programs, both undergraduate and graduate. The focus of the review is on both qualitative and quantitative data, some of which are supplied by Institutional Research, with the balance provided by the faculty in the programs. The overall objectives of the process are to ensure the high quality of the university’s programs, and to determine how best to utilize the university’s resources (budget, personnel, equipment, space, etc.).
