External Consultant Review Guidelines
Internal review processes provide a valuable perspective that is essential for program quality. In addition, an external consultant’s perspective may play an important role in the evaluation process.
Kimiko Vang has experienced a breadth of perspectives, spanning multiple continents and cultures. Born in a refugee camp in Thailand, she spent her early years in France before migrating with her family to the United States, where they settled in Merced County.
Vang recalls the challenges her family faced upon their arrival.

Procedures
Academic program review's primary goal is to enhance the quality of academic programs. To achieve this purpose, the APR procedures encourage self-study and planning within programs and strengthen the connections among the strategic plans of the program, the college, and the university. In addition, the essential element of the APR is the identification and assessment of student learning outcomes as a key indicator of program effectiveness. Further, APRs provide information for curricular and budgetary planning decisions at each administrative level.
Academic Program Review Process
The Academic Program Review (APR) self study and appendices and supplemental materials are authored by program faculty with contributing support, review, and recommendations from college governance committees, university governance committees (when appropriate), college dean, director of Institutional Effectiveness and Analytics, the AVP (Academic Affairs) and the expert opinion of an external consultant. Generally, the Department Chair is responsible for coordinating the program review process with faculty.
