Institutional Planning & Accreditation

Program Review

Austin Community College’s Program Review process for instructional units provides a framework to guide the reflective evaluation of the content, quality, and effectiveness of program curriculum—an essential part of academic stewardship. Program Review enhances and ensures the quality of teaching we provide and learning we expect from our students.
