Program Review & External Accreditation
Page address: https://www.mnsu.edu/assessment/program_review/All academic degree-granting programs, academic support units, and student affairs units participate in regularly scheduled program reviews or external accreditation reviews. Reviews of programs not accredited by external associations are scheduled every six years and require a comprehensive review of all program activities.
All externally accredited programs are engaged in regularly scheduled accreditation visits. These accreditations are governed by the specific accrediting body. For externally accredited programs, the accreditation self-study and the external reviewers' report satisfy the self-study and external review components of program review.
