.................................................................................... 165 *includes the SIU School of Medicine in Springfield Introduction For more than three decades, the Illinois Board of Higher Education (IBHE) has required all approved units of instruction, public service, and research offered by the public universities to be evaluated on a periodic basis. Specifically, the strategic plan for Illinois higher education, the Illinois Public Agenda for College and Career Success, suggests that universities ought to “strengthen accountability through national assessments with publicly reported results.” Over time, the elements of evaluation have expanded from an initial list of indicators such as strengths, weaknesses, productivity and cost efficiency, to include assessment of student learning, stakeholder feedback, and continuous program improvement. For accredited programs, this review process has been in place long before the creation of the IBHE and involved on-site visits of representatives from the accrediting agency. For non-accredited programs, this became a new but important process intended to insure program quality and sustainability. This eight-year examination process has now evolved into a concept generally known as “program review.” Program Review is a systematic way to assess the quality of the campus’ academic programs and determine ways to improve the quality of education, scholarship, and service. The purpose of program review is twofold: first, to assure that the faculty and administration provide high quality professional, graduate, and undergraduate programs for students; second, to identify corrective actions necessary to carry out the programs’ strategic plans. While each campus uses differing processes to review the various programs throughout years 1 -7, the culminating product of all programs (due in that 8th year) is a self-study. The self-study document is part of the program review process that focuses on program performance, continuous program improvement, the identification of problems and solutions, and evidence of student-learning outcomes. This Program Quality Assurance Report presents the results of the University’s most recent accreditation and program reviews. The Report includes: Lists of programs that are accredited by outside agencies along with their status. The results of non-accredited programs’ reviews and the identification of programs flagged for various issues. The schedule of reviews for all programs, whether or not they are accredited, through Academic Year 2029. The IBHE compiles these reports from the state’s public universities and shares the results annually with the Illinois General Assembly.

  • Graduate School Thesis Guidelines
    Guidelines for the Preparation of a Thesis/Dissertation/ Doctoral Research Project A Publication of the Graduate School Southern Illinois University Edwardsville Edwardsville, Illinois August 2021 INTRODUCTION The successful completion of a thesis/dissertation/doctoral research project is the culmination of a student’s work in fulfilling the requirements for a graduate degree at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. The process is demanding, rigorous, time-consuming, challenging, and, sometimes, discouraging. It is also one of the most rewarding aspects of graduate study because it is your topic, your proposal, your research, and your writing. These guidelines are prepared by the Graduate School as one resource in helping you achieve the standards expected for an academic work. Please work closely with your committee chair and the rest of your committee. Remember that these guidelines are exactly that. They are not intended to supersede the suggestions, recommendations, and requirements presented by your committee. Consult with your committee to determine if you will be following formatting for the manuscript thesis or the traditional thesis. Consult with your committee to determine if any particular style is preferred. Some departments will require a specific style while others will leave that decision to the discretion of the student. Examples of style manuals include, among others, Turabian, the American Psychological Association, and the American Institute of Biological Sciences, the Modern Language Association, and the University of Chicago Press. Whatever style is selected, familiarize yourself with its requirements and be consistent within that style. A thesis/dissertation/doctoral research project is an academic work; as such, creative use of bold and italics and dramatic changes in point size are discouraged even though word processing packages provide some interesting temptations.
