Add new sections:
J. Explain how your department/program:
1) addresses the increasing cultural diversity of CSUS students in the curriculum, as appropriate
2) accommodates differences in student preparation and access to educational opportunities.
3) helps students gain an effective knowledge of how to live and work in our diverse society.
K. If your department offers a minor, a concentration or a certificate program, provide evidence of its contribution to the mission of the department, college and university, and its viability with respect to enrollment patterns since the last program review and to the resources expended to support the program.
X. Academic Programs Review
B. Review Team Composition Guidelines
Add new section
Programs with national accreditation reviews
A unit may request that academic affairs synchronize its program review with its national accreditation review. The purpose of such a request would be to allow the use of the national accreditation self-study and visitor report to answer some or all of the self-study guideline questions. Such synchronization would mean scheduling the program review for the same year or the year following the national accreditation. In either case, the internal program review cycle should be similar to that of other programs, namely every 5 years.
