INTRODUCTION –Conceptualizing Program Review

Program review is a systematic process of data collection, analysis, and interpretation for effective

planning and accreditation review. Program review ought to be a “360-degree” review or a review from

all angles over time, of the effectiveness of an “educational program”. Fundamentally, program reviews

requires an institution to ask important questions about itself and to perform analysis about its own

performance. The review of the quality of effectiveness of Mt. San Jacinto College programs is an

ongoing professional responsibility and should be both meaningful and practical. A complete program

review cycle involves distinct conceptual steps: a precise and accurate description of things as they exist,

evaluation of whether those things are sufficient or appropriate or “good enough” to satisfy the

institution’s pursuit of excellence, planning for needed improvement, implementation of those plans,

and evaluation of the effectiveness of the actions taken in achieving the desired results.

The major objectives of Program Review are to:

- State program goals and align future goals with the college’s mission and goals

- Collect and analyze data on key performance indicators, administrative unit outcomes, program

activities and accomplishments

- Examine and document the effectiveness of administrative services

- Facilitate program improvement through analysis of student learning outcomes at the course,

program, administrative and institutional level

- Aid in institutional planning and decision-making processes within the college structure

- To use program review data and goals as rationale for budget, staff, facilities, professional

development, curriculum, and other planning decisions

- Comply with Accreditation Standards, Federal and State law, Title 5, and other legal certification

requirements

Plans for improvement that result from program review should be integrated with or connected to

overall institutional plans so that the regular institutional processes for setting directions and timelines,

and providing resources for action, support the implementation of those plans.

How Program Review Integrates with Planning

Self-Study documents are intended to be key drivers informing the District of the colleges’ strategic

planning process. Administrative Unit Program reviews will be updated annually and serve as a vital

component in the planning and budgeting process. Completed reviews will be shared with all college

constituent groups via Institutional Planning Committee (IPC) and made available to the entire college

community online. The result of discussions in the planning committees is intended to link into budget

planning

Mt. San Jacinto College Institutional Goals 2009-2010

Program Review and assessment is the cornerstone of planning. The Board of Trustees has adopted the

following Institutional goals that embrace the following concepts:

Improve Student Success

Implement an Integrated Systematic Planning and Assessment Model

Improve Administrative Processes and Operations while keeping them “Transparent”
