The University of Illinois Academic Program Review Process will provide each academic unit with the opportunity to examine its strengths, deficiencies, and strategic goals in a systematic way.

Evaluation of programs is conducted through a self-study process, culminating in an external peer review.

The Program Review process aligns with the campus strategic goal of ensuring excellence in the academic programs, allowing the university to:

• Guide the future direction and priorities for the programs and the institution
• Identify areas for improvement and development
• Promote goal setting within the departments as well as across departments
• Identify potential opportunities to redirect existing resources
• Identify potential opportunities to generate and use incremental resources
• Fulfill accreditation and state requirements
• Ensure institutional quality to students, faculty, parents, alumni, and other stakeholders
