Program Review

New York Tech instituted internal program review in the 2023-2024 academic year for programs that do not have external accreditation. Over 50 programs are reviewed on a 10-year cycle, with each year’s schedule determined in consultation with the deans.

  • Data-Informed Decision: Supporting the continuous cycle of data-informed reflection, analysis, and program improvement (CPI).
  • Compliance: Meeting MSCHE accreditation standards as well as maintaining compliance with NYS Board of Regents and Executive Policies.
