The Implementation Plan

As described in the section, "Report and Use Results" each program is asked to develop an seven-year implementation plan as part of the Academic Program Review process. This plan provides an ongoing map for assessing components of the program over the next APR cycle and becomes the foundation for the next six years of annual reporting.
