Program Review

Program review is the primary mechanism by which Golden West College identifies the objectives and resources needed to fulfill our educational mission. All programs (instructional and non-instructional) are expected to complete a review on the same two-year cycle. Programs that do not complete their report are not eligible to receive additional funding for one-time requests, classified positions, faculty positions, or facilities requests.

The program review report follows a basic SWOT analysis format (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats). However, it also contains sections for departments to report:

  • budget expenditures and revenues,
  • curriculum and course student learning outcomes activity,
  • program student learning outcomes
  • progress on prior cycle objectives, and
  • new objectives for the next cycle
  • requests for resources
