Policy Number: 

INST_0005

Policy Statement:

Assessment takes place at the course, program, and institutional level.  All academic programs/departments/emphasis areas and non-academic departments are required to conduct a comprehensive program review every five years.  The review is a comprehensive, systematic method of self-evaluation and review of achievement that evaluates the status, effectiveness, and progress of programs and helps identify the future direction, needs, and priorities of those programs.  The review also leads to the creation of a plan for continuous improvement.  Additionally, an annual evaluation is required for all departments in order to evaluate progress and inform annual planning and budget functions
