Guidelines for Systematic Review of Undergraduate Programs
Systematic review of undergraduate programs is required both by The Strategic Plan
for the Future of Virginia Commonwealth University and the State Council for Higher Education through
its Restructuring Report required of all public universities in the Commonwealth. The guidelines that
follow were approved by the University Undergraduate Curriculum Committee (4/13/95), augmented by the
State Council for Higher Education Productivity Report requirements and requirements of Phase II of The
Strategic Plan for the Future of Virginia Commonwealth University.
The purpose of systematic review of undergraduate programs is to improve the quality of
undergraduate instruction. It should be diagnostic, tied to departmental mission statements, annual reviews,
and assessment procedures already in place, and designed to facilitate progress in accomplishing the goals
of the program. There are two parts to the process: an Annual Review Process and a Periodic Program Review
Process:
