Section 133-10-2 - Basis of Program Review Process

2.1. The program review process is designed to improve the performance of institutions' academic programs by providing a systematic method to evaluate student outcomes, productivity, and need. It also allows institutions to demonstrate alignment with the general standards of academic programs through descriptive information and supporting documentation. The process of program review is complementary to accreditation review by the Higher Learning Commission or other United States Department of Education-recognized regional or national accrediting agency and to the reviews of professional accreditors.

2.2. For the purpose of this document, a "program" is defined as curriculum or course of study in a discipline specialty that leads to a degree.
