Consistent with the MCC’s vision of “leading the way to success in our local and global community,” the Program Review Process provides a unique opportunity to:
- Reflect on our work
- Engage in dialogue with colleagues relative to a program's strengths, opportunities, aspirations, and results challenges
- Continuously improve our programs
The results of the Program Review Process will be used to inform Department Planning efforts and, by extension, the college’s master planning and budgeting processes.
Program Reviews should be completed every 3 years, unless a different schedule is dictated by an outside accreditation body. Approximately one-third of Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs will be reviewed annually.
