PROGRAM INDICATORS

Three major sets of information form the basis for program review:

1) Department Planning Indicators: These department level data have been annually collected and distributed by the Office of Institutional Research. This report contains a comprehensive set of information about the department, especially enrollment data, and faculty resources. http://www.fiu.edu/~opie/spdi.htm

2) Program Review Measures: Quantitative items on an array of program characteristics facilitate measurement and performance comparisons with previous years and established goals, for example, three year trends for headcount enrollments, contract and grant funding, degrees granted, and retention. Programs in the development of their Self-Study document should incorporate these into their text. The table titled "Program Measures, Outcomes and Data Sources" lists these items. http://www.fiu.edu/provost/aaproreview/prmeasures.htm A more selective set of data is presented as common slides at the Program Review Forum: http://www.fiu.edu/provost/aaproreview/prforums.htm

3) Unit Institutional Effectiveness Learning Outcomes: Institutional Effectiveness matrices/student learning outcomes are completed annually by the Department. Past years are available in the Dean's offices and from the Office of Institutional Planning and Effectiveness. http://www.fiu.edu/~insteff/surveys/home.htm

4) Academic Learning Compacts
