About Academic Excellence
The Office for Academic Excellence is responsible for assisting faculty and administrators with navigating policies, compliance, and processes related to academic master plan, academic planning, program impaction, program review, assessment of student learning, academic calendar, accreditation, and state authorization.
The office oversees the WSCUC reaccreditation process, ensuring the university maintains its regional accreditation and meets all standards of quality and institutional effectiveness.
Academic Program Review
Sacramento State’s Academic Program Review Policy requires that each degree program undergo a review every six years. The process includes a self-study, external team visit, faculty peer input, and action plan. Specialized program accreditation may be able to serve for part or all of academic program review.
The purpose of program review is to provide an opportunity for academic units to assess the educational effectiveness of their undergraduate and graduate degree programs. Program review is conducted in a climate of faculty participation and reflection designed to enhance the quality of teaching and learning.
Academic Program Assessments
Assessment of student learning is an integral part of our commitment to continuously improve student learning and success. The Office of Academic Program Assessment (OAPA) provides support for faculty to effectively collect, analyze, and use learning data to continuously improve student learning and success through annual assessment, collaborative project funding, best practice training, and faculty learning communities.
