What is Academic Program Review?

Every academic program offered at 91ԭ�� is reviewed at least once every four years by a peer committee from the same college or school. The committee provides feedback regarding the program's effectiveness in the following categories: centrality to the university's mission, quality and distinctiveness within the UA system, student demand, employment opportunities for graduates, productivity, efficiency and total cost.
