Academic Program Review

PR Timeline

Committee Training Flyer

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.
