Introduction and Overview
Introduction to Program Review
The purpose of program review is to provide instructional programs an opportunity to think systematically about
what has occurred in the department in the past 3-5 years, and to think ahead to what the department would like
to achieve in the next 3-5 years. Reviews are intended to be evidence-based, with data informing the
conversations and helping to validate achievements and identify areas for improvement. They also serve as a
vehicle for the department to ensure course syllabi are current, the assessment of learning outcomes is
conducted and results used, and departments meet other expectations/requirements specific to them. Finally,
program reviews meet Illinois Community College Board (ICCB) requirements and expectations of the Higher
Learning Commission (HLC).
For more than 17 years, the Illinois Board of Higher Education (IBHE) and Illinois Community College Board (ICCB)
have required each public community college in the state to conduct, on a five-year cycle, a review of every
instructional, academic support, and student services program at the institution. ICCB expects reviews of all
instructional programs, student support services, and business services. Additionally, ICCB identifies an area for
cross-disciplinary review each year.
Overview of the Process
Oakton’s program reviews are prepared according to this Program Review manual. All program reviews must
include two sections, a Narrative and a Checklist. Program reviews will be limited to 4-5 pages, using a template
designed for instructional or for non-instructional programs. In addition, each unit will complete a brief checklist
to indicate it has examined and discussed relevant data and information. In the program review report, attention
should be placed on data and information relevant to the current status and future of the program or
administrative unit; this includes how the area supports Connecting What Matters, Oakton’s strategic plan for
2013-2017.
The overall process is guided by the Office of Research and Planning following a timetable and approach to be
used by all areas doing program review. As in the past, full program review reports prepared by each department
must remain on file at the College. Summaries are prepared for submission to the Illinois Community College
Board and Illinois Board of Higher Education in accordance with the ICCB Accountability/Program Review Report,
which is due to ICCB on August 1st of each year.

Principles of Program Review at Oakton
These principles were first formulated in 1993-94. They continue to serve as important guidelines for program
review at Oakton. Program reviews are best viewed as brief checks on the current state of a program and, more
importantly, as guides for the future.
1. The primary reason for conducting program reviews is to ensure the continuation of high quality in all Oakton
programs and services and to provide a range of offerings that is appropriate to the College's mission and the
community we serve.
2. It is important to establish a safe climate for inquiry as we do program reviews.
3. The process of reviewing programs and services is as important for the continuation of quality as any report or
"product" resulting from program reviews.
4. All instructional, instructional and student support and business service programs for which the Illinois
Community College Board requires program reviews will be part of the program review process outlined in this
Manual.
5. There needs to be broad involvement of faculty and staff in program reviews at the departmental or unit level
of each program being reviewed.
6. Effective program reviews need to incorporate feedback to participants and the opportunity for them to
respond.
7. The program review process and reports should complement and support other self-studies and reports
required by external agencies, including the Higher Learning Commission, specialized accrediting agencies, the
Illinois Community College Board, and the Illinois Board of Higher Education.
8. Program reviews focus on the core elements of a program, its current state and recommendations for the
future.
