The program review process is a faculty-led, collaborative, evidence-based reflection of a program’s quality including curriculum, student learning experiences, community relationships, etc. It is part of academic quality enhancement and the ongoing process of ensuring quality student learning experiences.
Program review is an ongoing and systematic inquiry process whereby key student learning experience interest groups reflect on the strengths of educational programs and identify areas for enhancement. This process engages all participants in an evidence-based assessment of how well programs and departments are providing the best possible experiences for student learning.
Program review is part of an ongoing curriculum renewal and review process whereby all learning experiences are continually reviewed for renewing how best to provide for the needs of learners, communities and align with the directions of the Ministry of Post-Secondary Education and Future Skills.
