Program Review Committee (PRC)

Washington Student Achievement Council (WSAC) policy requires all programs at state four-year institutions of higher education to undergo periodic review following specific guidelines. Summaries of review results are to be reported to WSAC who then reports to the Governor and legislature. The PRC has been established to coordinate the reviews of several graduate and undergraduate programs each year. It reviews the self-studies and other materials produced by the departments and makes recommendations as to whether changes need to be made to the program. Both the Graduate Affairs Council and Undergraduate Affairs Council confirm the faculty appointments to this committee while an administrator convenes the meetings.
