			 performance that is used to inform future directions and decision making. Those
			 charged with overseeing and coordinating program review activities should be
			 engaged in some aspect of assessment and program review year-round.
(3) The academic program review process
			 provides an opportunity for program faculty and administration to evaluate the
			 goals and effectiveness of a program and make appropriate changes that will
			 lead to improvement in the quality of instruction and curricular requirements,
			 improved career and life preparation for students, and effective and efficient
			 use of university resources.
