More Book Details

Description of the Book:

This paper examines the purposes and criteria of statewide program evaluations in higher education, focusing on the development of program evaluations in Illinois, and presents new statewide criteria for program approval and review. It also discusses the role of the Illinois State Board of Higher Education in approving and reviewing programs at state institutions. The paper reviews the changing nature of academic programs at colleges and universities and changing approaches to evaluating such programs. During the 1970s many states, including Illinois, selected program evaluation guidelines that focused on productivity, cost, quality, and need criteria. In recent years program evaluation efforts have become more cognizant of student outcomes and preferred academic practices criteria. New guidelines that focus on curriculum, faculty, students, and support services, are recommended to strengthen the program review and approval processes. Copies of the guidelines are appended.
