ACCREDITATION, PROGRAM, AND UNIT REVIEWS

Welcome to the University of Central Florida (UCF) program review process. Program Review examines UCF programs on a periodic basis to review key performance measures and program information to determine the “direction” in which the program is heading and reveal opportunities for “redirection. In general, programs without separate accreditation will include a report from an external reviewer. A benefit of the review process is the “mandated” comprehensive review of program trend data and information by each unit. This process is intended to encourage improved management practices and decision-making.

The link to the Program Review Menu provides the following:

  1. purpose of the program review process
  2. a 7-year schedule of programs that will be involved in the review process
  3. the submission status of the targeted programs
  4. sample templates that are used in the review process

A self-study and a department report template are available for the designated academic program representative and the department chair. Additional templates for department chairs, college deans and the external consultant are also available. Additionally, guidelines for selecting external consultants and a sample itinerary for the site visit are available.

The OEAS office provides accreditation support to academic and administrative offices that are preparing self-studies or preparing for site visits, as well as program reviews and unit performance reviews. We can assist you in the design and analysis of surveys, development and implementation of assessment plans, collection and analysis of data on comparable schools or programs, and in the development of a web-based system for documentation.
