Academic Program Reviews (APR) provides an opportunity for the institution and faculty
to examine the quality of their academic programs as a whole, to affirm ways that
the program is working well, and to implement improvements. APR is also a mechanism
for demonstrating a commitment to continuous improvement and thus meet accreditation
requirements of the Higher Learning Commission (HLC). At the University of Wyoming,
comprehensive institutional reviews will generally be conducted on a department by
department basis, every seven years.
Other types of program reviews may occur as described below.
