7-Year USM Program Department Review of Academic Programs
USM requires a program review for all academic
degree programs every seven years. The 7-year
program review process is extensive and consists of
an internal self-study of each program within the
context of the discipline as a whole and the
department in which it resides. Each review must
include feedback from an external reviewer and a
comprehensive plan for improvement. The prior 3 and
6 Year assessment reports inform the information
presented with respect to student learning.
