Program review enhances educational effectiveness and student learning through continuous program improvement. Program review draws on and complements the program’s ongoing process of assessing student learning and contributes to the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) reaffirmation of the institution’s accreditation. General information on program review is available in the Program Review Overview.
