Program Review and Planning Committee (PRP) advances integrated planning. The committee is responsible for assuring the institution’s planning framework is consistent with accreditation criterion, and guides the institutional assessment, evaluation and coordination of activities leading to institutional effectiveness and improvement.
The PRP Committee maintains the process of formative and summative (summary) assessments of departments, programs and services for the purpose of data informed program reflection and improvement. The process will determine how well programs meet specific goals and objectives through qualitative and quantitative summary data analysis. Programs are reviewed annually and at the seventh year in the formal Program Review to coincide with the seven-year cycle of institutional accreditation.
