APR - Certificate Review


Certificate Program Review (CR) follows a process that is an abbreviated and streamlined version of the APR Degree (DR) process that evaluates degrees and majors. A College Certificate Review Committee, without external reviewers, conducts the review of the self-study.

Certificates are reviewed every five years. All program review is coordinated by the Office of the Provost and that office maintains a web page that includes all information to support the CR process, including a schedule. The Office of the Provost also creates an annual cohort group of programs undergoing CR to facilitate cooperation, communication, collaboration, and the ability to identify program strengths and opportunities for improvement.
