34 Program Review
Program review is a continuous process that evaluates the status, effectiveness, and progress of NIC’s programs and helps identify the future direction, needs, and priorities of those programs. As such, it is closely connected to strategic planning, resource allocation, and other decision-making at the program, division, and college levels.
The goal of a program review is to articulate agreed-upon action plans for further development of the program. The program review process should focus on improvements that can be made using resources that currently are available to the program. Consideration may also be given, however, to proposed program improvements and expansions that would require additional resources; in such cases, the need and priority for additional resources should be clearly specified.
The Office of Instruction currently utilizes Pressbooks as a conduit for program reviews. Please work with your Division Chair and Sr. Administrative Assistant to gain access to your program review template.
