Accreditation & Program Review
"First and foremost, the purpose of academic program review (APR) at Cal Poly is to acknowledge the strengths and seek ways of further enhancing the quality of academic programs."

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.
