Program Review

The program review process is an essential part of the college's overall assessment of student learning outcomes process. Academic programs at St. Norbert College complete a program review process on a rolling five-year cycle. Oversight of this process is done through the Curriculum and Educational Policy Committee (CEPC) with coordination support from the Office of Institutional Effectiveness. Guidance on this process, deadlines, and forms to be used, can be located under the Faculty Program Review Resources (SNC log-in only).

Please contact the Office of Institutional Effectiveness at x3855 if you have questions or require assistance.

For each academic program, an archive of important program documents are available which you will likely need to refer to as you go through the program review process. These documents include:

Mission and Vision Statements
Scholarship Statement
Course Syllabi
Student Opinion of Teaching (SOOT) Summary Reports
Past Program Review Reports (and Evaluative Responses)

Through this consolidated archive, managed by the Office of Institutional Effectiveness, we are able to provide a longitudinal and cross discipline perspective.
