Learn how to collaboratively establish metrics for effective academic program reviews.
Overview
With ever increasing pressure to stay relevant, institutions need to be more intentional in how they approach academic program review. It’s essential to be efficient and structured in order to close the gap between process and actionable results. Academic program review can often seem like a laborious and sometimes perfunctory process that doesn’t always yield meaningful outcomes. A lack of consistent data, metrics, and staff engagement can often cloud results and render the process ineffectual. However, by infusing transparency and engaging faculty to build consensus and buy-in for future changes, you can remove fear and anxiety around the process.
