The APR system ensures institutional integrity and continuous improvement by means of outcomes-driven practice and research-based planning, as well as by relating academic program goals to the larger mission goals of colleges and ultimately to the University strategic goals. The APR system carries this information from unit and program reports through administrative responses.
In this way, the APR system also enables responsible accountability to external accrediting agencies. Annually the data provide information for institutional assessment. Academic departments also use the data when compiling their Comprehensive Program Review Reports.
