Program Review is a college-wide, systematic, and reflective process that enables CCC to evaluate and improve both academic and non-academic programs. It leverages data to inform program improvements, guide resource allocation, and support ongoing institutional development. Conducted on a three-year cycle, all programs participate during their assigned year.
The process is collaborative and supportive. The Faculty Assessment Coordinator works closely with program faculty, Deans, and Institutional Research to ensure teams have the guidance and resources they need to complete their review effectively and efficiently.
Leadership and Support
The Program Review process is guided by the Dean of Arts and Science. The Program Review Committee serves as a college-wide advisory team for the process. The Program Review Committee includes staff, faculty, and administrators from across CCC programs and departments.
For support, faculty and staff may contact the Faculty Assessment Coordinator.
