In general terms, this is accomplished by conducting a periodic review of the program’s mission and goals as they relate to the mission of the institution; the curriculum through which the program's mission and goals are pursued; the extent to which the program is achieving its objectives for student learning; the quality and diversity of the faculty and staff and their contributions to achieving the program’s mission and goals; and the quality of the infrastructure supporting the program (e.g., library and other educational resources; physical facilities, etc.).

An academic program is a structured grouping of coursework leading to a baccalaureate or graduate degree or to a teaching credential. At Cal Poly, APR is conducted for all academic programs, General Education, and centers and institutes.
