The program review process

• To create our Program Review document, the full time faculty from the department met on Friday afternoons for 2 months to collaborate on the writing• It enabled us to reflect on the direction that

our department has taken, and solidify our vision of the future.

• The Program Review process has been streamlined to help departments assess themselves

Major Findings

• Lab space is inadequate for the development of the MMDP program• In order to achieve NASAD

accreditations we need more studio space designed for painting, photography, and video

• We would like to also see more spaces on campus where we can display student art work

Major Findings (cont.)

• As our enrollment grows we need to make a concerted effort towards retention and completion• Using the FAST system will help

us serve our younger students population

• We are setting pre-requisites on our classes to ensure that students are taking their Math and English requirements early in their degree path

Major Findings (cont.)

• Many of our graduates are not employed in the design field• We are trying to better prepare our students

to be employed in the design field by creating a new Portfolio/Job Search Class

• Stronger ties with our industry connections to create opportunities for internships

Action Plan

• Make our students work more visible on campus

• Lobby for new facilities that will aid us in helping our students gain design skills

• Maintain better contact with alumni• We have started a Facebook group in hopes

that we can reach out to alumni
