Academic Program Review

The Ohio State University conducts academic program review as a means to enhance and ensure academic excellence. Informed by the Academic Plan and college and department goals, academic departments -- with support from the college and OAA -- conduct a data-informed, analytic self-review that identifies issues and proposes strategies to address those issues and enhance academic quality. The self-review is followed by a visit and report from a strong external team of peers and further consultation between the department, college, and OAA. After the internal and external phases of the review process, progress on and the achievement of goals and initiatives that emerge from the review become an integral component of strategic planning and communications between the department, college, and OAA. Academic program reviews take place on a six-year cycle and include periodic progress updates between reviews.

Support Unit Program Review

OnCampus Article: Support Unit Reviews Assess Quality and Align Budgets. 34(14), 2005.

Summary: Periodic reviews of the university's support units to assess their quality and recommend base budget changes have begun as proposed by the Hoffsis committee in its 2002 report. Ohio State's Support Unit Review schedule spans eight years and incorporates more than 61 offices and units into three review processes: organizational, functional and student affairs. One unit -- building services and maintenance -- has completed the entire process, and six units are currently undergoing reviews in accordance to the schedule extending through the 2010-11 academic year. The offices of the Registrar, Fees and Deposits, Student Financial Aid and the CIO are among those being reviewed this year.
