Upcoming Reviews

Academic Program Reviews are mandated by state law and conducted at 10-year intervals according to University policy. Reviews may be conducted at shorter intervals when deemed appropriate. The following schedule lists program reviews by year.

  • Full reviews include peer review of all undergraduate and graduate programs as well as Graduate Certificate programs within the specific unit, unless otherwise specified.
  • An interim report is defined as any formal report back to the Graduate School Council in response to a prior program review.
  • A 5-year report is defined as a limited review of a graduate degree or graduate certificate program, held five years after approval by the Board of Regents.

*Note: The COVID-19 pandemic caused nearly all academic program reviews to be pushed back by two years. As a result, dates below may be more than 10 years since each unit’s previous review. Contact the Program Review Team at progrev@uw.edu with questions.
