Program Review

The Program Review process, which occurs during Year Five of the accreditation cycle, provides the Commission and the Institutional Review Team with evidence that an institution is consistently meeting program standards. The program documents enumerated in the instructions below provide the required information for the initial review in Year Five. If the review team determines that additional narrative or documentation is needed, the institution will be able to provide it prior to the site visit.

If an institution is submitting a new program for approval, full narrative responses must be submitted through Initial Program Review (IPR). The instructions below are for currently approved programs.
