The Summarized Program Review Report (PRR) is two-pages. The summarized PRR focuses on the purpose, need, and future plans for each academic program. In other words, this report describes the academic program and includes the inputs and resources required to provide a strong and viable program to meet the needs of the students, faculty, state and nation. Each degree program (CIP code), including all degree levels offered (BA/BS; MA/MS; and/or Ph.D./Ed.D.), should have a summarized report, however, a combined report of all degree levels is acceptable but should preferably be a maximum of four pages.
