Defining a "Program" at Lane
At Lane, the definition of an academic program is based on outcomes, articulation/transfer considerations as well as integrated functions. The list of programs was developed via a 12+ month dialogue that involved faculty, instructional deans, and the initial APROC Chair, Anne McGrail.
"All credit-bearing courses and related academic activities (such as the Library and Tutoring Services) undertake Academic Program Review. The college uses multiple criteria to group all academic courses into meaningful units for the purposes of assessment, analysis, planning, alignment, and improvement. These criteria, which are evolving with Lane's research and experience with APR, include: a common set of outcomes (e.g., Writing or Physical Therapy Assistant); a related set of outcomes (e.g., French and Spanish Languages); articulation/transfer considerations (e.g., Engineering Mathematics); integrated institutional function (Tutoring or Academic Technology)."
