The Program
Review Process encourages CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT in the development of Innovative
Programs and can lead to cultural changes in the workplace. The Program Review
Process is formative in that it sets the expectations for cultural change, assists
colleges in reaching the expectations through action planning, and showcases
excellence to communicate those changes. The Process was adapted from an internal
program review process developed at Hudson Valley Community College; the lead
school in New York for the Next Step Program.
