Program Review

The Program Review Model at Rio Salado College is a formal iterative process of self-study, evaluation, and planning completed by Academic and Occupational programs in consultation with the Learning Assessment Team. Programs are typically reviewed on a 3-5 year cycle, and Program Chairs are responsible for closing the loop on recommendations and decisions that surface during the review.
