Austin Community College’s Program Review process for instructional programs provides a framework to guide the reflective evaluation of the content, quality, and effectiveness. The Program Review Working Group develops Program Review standards and conducts evaluations of the reviews. The faculty-led process is overseen and facilitated by the Institutional Planning & Accreditation office.
Guiding Principles
The Program Review process is based on these guiding principles:
- Faculty has primary responsibility for the content, quality, and effectiveness of the program.
- The information from the review should be used to guide program planning.
- The review process should not be overly burdensome to faculty.
Purpose
The purpose of the Program Review process at ACC is to:
- Conduct an authentic and critically reflective assessment of every certificate and degree program that the College offers, including a review of student learning outcomes and the program’s contribution to the College’s mission.
- Create a three‐year plan that facilitates continuous improvement of each program and that is incorporated into the College’s larger Institutional Planning process.
- Ensure that external accreditation requirements are met.
