Academic program review

Programs at the University of Redlands undergo cyclical review in order to insure academic excellence, assess educational effectiveness, and develop realistic plans for improvement. The program review process is designed to foster collective reflection by faculty members and students about their program's strengths, weaknesses, goals and mission. Programs provide a comprehensive analysis of quality based on evidence, supplemented by an external evaluation by qualified reviewers. The results of program review meaningfully inform institutional planning, resource allocation, and decision-making at the University.
