Academic Program Reviews

The purpose of the program review at Brigham Young University–Hawaii is continuous program improvement. BYUH follows an outcomes-based review process that allows programs the opportunity to examine themselves closely to learn whether the current stated outcomes and program structure are relevant to and successful at helping students achieve these outcomes. The Program Review Guidelines provide a framework for conducting a thorough, evidence-based analysis of a program in order to understand a program’s strengths, identify key areas of improvement, and create a workable plan for achieving the desired improvements.

Assessment Services changed the program review process to align with the updated NWCCU standards. We want to afford programs the opportunity to carry out the self-study process by focusing on the standards. Then they are to generate a report of their findings based on the self-study process.
