Academic Program Review
McNeese State University conducts periodic reviews of all academic programs for quality and effectiveness as required by the Academic Program Review Policy. The academic program review process directs academic departments to conduct self-studies that examine a program’s faculty, curriculum, student success, and resources. The review culminates in an action plan to be integrated into annual assessment reports.
