Academic Programs

Schedule of Program Reviews / Accreditations

The university periodically reviews all academic programs at Iowa State University as described in the Academic Program Review: Policies and Procedures (DOC | PDF) document. Although each program is reviewed on a regular cycle, the length of the process varies from program to program. Once a review is finished, the Summary Report of Academic Program Review (DOC | PDF) is completed and forwarded to the Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost.
