Academic Program Review

In addition to Southeast having a robust program assessment process that reviews the quality of program’s meeting their student learning outcomes, SEMO also requires programs be reviewed on a cyclic basis of at least every five years. 

Purpose of Academic Program Review

The faculty handbook outlines the guidelines and procedures for Academic Program Review. As stated in the faculty handbook:

The overall purpose of program review is to assess each unit’s program quality, effectiveness, and continued viability; to stimulate program planning and improvement; to continue to fulfill our mission to the students, communities, and people that we serve; and to encourage the unit’s development in strategic directions that reflect the University’s priorities. The fundamental principle in program review is the use of multiple measures to assess programs.

Additional Information and Guidelines

The Academic Program Review datasets, guidelines, and review template can be found in the portal at my.semo.edu. Following best practices of most accreditors, programs may be asked to provide updates on their progress related to identified concerns in one, two, or three years following their regular five-year review cycle. The portal will also contain detailed scheduling information that includes follow-up reporting deadlines. 

If you have any questions regarding the Academic Program Review process, please contact the Office of the Vice Provost at viceprovost@semo.edu or 573-651-2207.
