As a matter of policy, the campus conducts periodic external reviews of
all academic degree programs. Among other things, program reviews
serve as important evidence to accrediting and public agencies that the
university is engaged in a continuous program of critical
self-examination and evaluation.
The objective of the external review is to inform the administration, the
academic senate, and public agencies of the following:
-
The overall quality and direction of the
research, scholarship and creative activity of the faculty, in
comparison with other nationally ranked research universities.
- The overall quality and direction of the
department’s graduate programs.
- The overall quality and direction of the
department’s undergraduate programs, including curriculum, teaching,
and co-curricular activities.
- The advisability and efficacy of changes in
the short-term and long-term resource allocations to the department.
Program reviews emphasize the department’s plans for growth and
improvement of instruction and scholarship, in the context of its
current strengths and recent accomplishments. Program reviews also
address any issues of departmental governance that bear upon the
department’s ability to conduct its core mission.
