Academic Program Review (APR)
51³Ô¹ÏÍø engages in ongoing Academic Program Review (APR) to facilitate an academic unit’s continuous improvement, ensure academic quality and to inform the unit’s strategic planning process to reflect relevant trends and institutional priorities. Systematic reviews also serve to satisfy expectations from external entities such as the Ohio Department of Higher Education (ODHE) and 51³Ô¹ÏÍø’s institutional accreditor, the Higher Learning Commission (HLC). The overall result of APR supports quality education for all students.
