The program review process is designed to sustain and strengthen the contributions of departments and programs to student learning, scholarly and artistic work, and the mission of the college as a whole. With the benefit of feedback from professional peers, programs set both short-term and long-term priorities for improvement, and disseminate their mission, vision, accomplishments, and future plans to others.
