What is Program Review?
Program review is a self-evaluation process by which programs assess the extent to which they are meeting their mission, consider the environment in which the program exists, and develop strategies to enhance program effectiveness.
There are different types of program review: Academic, Administrative Units and Student Services Units.

PURPOSE AND GOALS
Academic Program Review is an integral part of the total process of curriculum planning,
development and implementation at Grossmont College. The information gathered during
the review process provides the basis for informed decision-making by the faculty
and administration on the allocation of resources to those programs as well as the
initiation, expansion, contraction, consolidation and termination of programs. The
process not only provides program and department accountability but also provides
an opportunity for innovative and effective practices to be shared with the campus
community and to tie the work that each department does to the larger strategic goals
of the college and to fulfilling the college mission. The Academic Program Review
Committee's goals include:
Develop and implement a cooperative, standardized and flexible methodology to facilitate continuous program review (reviewed and updated each cycle).
Collect and disseminate relevant information that will provide a basis for long-range curriculum planning and development.
Ensure integrity and excellence of academic programs.
All academic departments/programs are reviewed once every six years. During the year in which the program is reviewed, the department/program writes a self-study document including departmental recommendations. The Academic Program Review Committee reviews these documents, requests written follow-up as needed, and meets with the department to discuss their strengths and weaknesses. A summary of commendations and recommendations is prepared by the committee and presented to the department in a meeting with the College President. A final report summarizing the work of the committee each academic year is distributed to the Academic Senate, Vice President of Academic Affairs, College President, and the Governing Board and made publicly available via the pages linked below.

SSPR Outcomes:
We can access a variety of aggregated data and some data at the major level about
where our students transfer to from the public CSU and UC system dashboards.
The Cal State System provides info on how many students enroll as transfers from each community college by major and by campus at the link below. They additionally provide follow up on these students one year later for enrollment and GPA.
On the Fall Term Student Enrollment page click on the "Student Origin" tab. Click on the large orange/yellow box at the top of the page to select "New Undergraduate Transfers from California Community Colleges" and find Grossmont College in the dropdown menu for "Institution of Origin". Then you can select different discipline areas (middle bottom) that best match to your expected majors. Graphs to the right show how many total transfers (including showing which have AA/AS or ADT versus no degree) and to which of the UC schools they go. If you select a "Fall Term" year at least a year ago, the upper right panel will populate with statistics on student persistence into the second year and GPA.
The University of California System provides data on how many students enroll as transfers from each community college, by major and my campus at the link below.
