University of New Orleans
Academic Program Review

The primary purpose of a review of all graduate and undergraduate academic programs at the University of New Orleans is to pinpoint the intrinsic strengths and weaknesses of every academic program on a regular basis, with the ultimate goal of strengthening and/or sustaining each program's quality. As a year-long procedure resulting in a final report, each program review is to be not only descriptive, but also evaluative and formative. It will be descriptive in presenting the status of the current program under review; it will be evaluative in assessing the quality of the program and the ability of its resources to meet its demands; and it will be formative by being directed towards the improvement of the program. The main mission of the Academic Program Review is to make detailed recommendations to this end.
