Attachment 10:    Role of the External Reviewer

Attachment 11:    Template for Strategic Plan and Action Plan

This format is intended to provide the basis for a complete review of academic departments and interdisciplinary programs.  For view the departmental data packets for 2011-12 and the historical archive click here.

The program review format is available in Attachment 7.

It normally will take six (6) to eighteen (18) months to complete the program review process (Attachment 4 and Attachment 5).

A unit’s self-study, strategic plan and action plan are also important components for reports submitted to the Middle States Association and other professional accreditation groups (Attachment 6).  In addition to the final approval of the program reviews by the Dean/Vice President, Provost and President, the Board of Governors requires a three-page summary of each program review to be completed (Attachment 8 and Attachment 9).  All non-administrative program reviews must complete the State System Summary Form (use the MSWord version until the on-line form is available at the PASSHE web site – Attachment 9).

A limit of $1,500 per review has been established for hiring external reviewers, printing and postage costs, and some miscellaneous expenses. If expenses exceed $1,500, academic departments/units are expected to cover these costs from their operating budgets.
