Academic Program Review

​In 2005, Southeastern University moved to university status. This transition stressed the need for strengthened and routine internal processes and controls to ensure the quality and viability of each academic program. Currently, multiple academic departments at the University undergo a regular program review process, including the School of Business Administration (ACBSP), the Department of Social Work (CSWE), the School of Divinity (ATS), the Department of Nursing (CCNE), the Department of Psychology and Counselor Education (CACREP), and College of Education (FLDOE). Based upon best practices and a heightened awareness of the need to institutionalize this process, the University adopted the Academic Program Review (APR) process campus-wide in August 2011. APR at Southeastern University is a mission-driven, data-informed, peer-reviewed, self-reflection process, wherein academic units assess learning outcomes, curriculum, teaching and learning practices, student success, and administrative practices.

The APR process encompasses an Academic Audit (AA), External Peer Reviewers Report (EPRR), Market Viability Report (MVR), and a five-year Academic Plan (AP). Together these four reports are used by the Provost and Leadership Team for programmatic and resource allocation decisions, as well as by the academic units that conduct the review for continuous improvement and strategic planning.

Each unit will be reviewed on a 2-year schedule. The process begins in August of the 1st year and end May of the 2nd year. Within an academic year, up to four units will be involved in the review process at various points. Below is a proposed review cycle for the current departments.
