Academic Program Reviews
Overview
The Academic Program Review (APR) is a process of regular, systematic review and evaluation of most academic degree programs regardless of its mode of delivery. Programs engage on the APR process every 5 to 8 years depending on the needs of the program. The majority of programs are reviewed every 7 years.
