The Program Action Plan is an agreement among appropriate AVPAA and Program to implement recommendations that emerged during the program review process. These recommendations were derived from the program’s self-study, the external review, administrator input, and the Continuous Improvement review. Through the Program Action Plan, the goal is to integrate program review results into Academic Affairs planning and budgeting. To the extent that resources and changes in program and division strategic priorities permit, the Action Plan identifies two-year and five-year targets for implementation of recommendations.
