Academic Program Review
Auburn University at Montgomery (AUM) academic programs will regularly undergo self-study reviews. Programs subject to review are those that have distinct learning outcomes and that have a degree awarded by AUM. Certificate programs are not subject to independent review. Academic programs that coordinate and administer certificate programs should address these within their self-study. The purpose of Academic Program Review is to:
- Evaluate the alignment of the program mission and goals with the University mission and goals
- Examine program information and data, including an assessment of the adequacy of resources to evaluate
- Strengths
- Areas needing improvement
- Analyze opportunities and threats
- Demonstrate the use of data
- Develop goals for the future
The review will be guided by the Academic Program Review Template (note: not all parts of the Template will apply equally to all programs).
