Program Review
ACADEMIC PROGRAM REVIEW
One of the most important institutional mechanisms for assessing progress at the departmental level is the academic program review process. This is a faculty-driven process, in which Academic Affairs has taken the lead role, with administrative support from the Office of Institutional Research.
The Program Review process is intended to provide a comprehensive assessment of the current status of an academic unit based on its programs, activities, and achievements since its last program review, while also providing the unit the opportunity to think strategically regarding its program offerings and its future direction. In doing so, the unit provides comparisons with its peers, identifies strengths and weaknesses in its curriculum and instruction; assesses student quality and educational (learning) outcomes; provides an account of faculty contributions in teaching, research/creative activities, and service; assesses resource availability and needs; and summarizes special features or services provided by the unit. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the Program Review should allow the unit, in conjunction with the university, to plan to build on existing strengths, maximize opportunities for growth, and solve current problems.
The links below provide a wealth of statistical information used in the assessment process. In most of the areas, the data for the last 10 years is provided. If you have any questions or need additional assistance, please contact JP Monroe at 346-2085 or email jpmonroe@uoregon.edu.
