Academic Program Review
The Academic Program Review's primary purpose is
improvement of educational programs at Austin
Peay State University. The outcomes of program
reviews set priorities for strategic planning
and budget allocations and determine the amount
of performance funding dollars awarded by the
state through the Tennessee Higher Education
Commission (THEC). An effective program
includes an intensive self-study conducted by
each program's faculty, a critical assessment by
peer evaluators both outside the state and
within the institution itself, and an action
plan in response to this critical assessment.
All academic units, with the exception of those
undergoing accreditation review within a
five-year cycle, will complete a program review
at a minimum every five years. The program
review process is a collaborative effort of the
Vice President for Academic Affairs, the
Director of Institutional Research and
Effectiveness, the academic unit under review,
and the respective college.
