Program Review
Academic Program Review
All academic programs at Touro University California are subject to systematic program review. The program review process is designed to evaluate and enhance the quality of academic programs through a focus on student learning outcomes, evidence-based decisions, and integration with institutional planning. This reflection on assessment results allows for programs to make evidence-informed conclusions regarding their performance and evidence-informed decisions in proposing major programmatic changes or in requesting resources.
TUC Academic Program Review Committee (APRC) leads the institutional systematic program review process. These reviews may be coordinated with, but are independent of, the periodic reviews of educational programs conducted by professional accrediting agencies.
Administrative Unit Program Review
The efficient and strategic functioning of administrative units is paramount to the successful realization of a university's mission, academic objectives, and student-centric goals.

At Touro University California, the systematic review of these units enables the institution to enhance its support services, ensure compliance with educational standards, and align administrative processes with the institution's overarching vision.
The review of administrative units involves a comprehensive analysis encompassing factors such as workflow efficiency, resource allocation, compliance with educational policies and regulations, student satisfaction, and the integration of technological advancements. This review facilitates the identification of areas for improvement, the enhancement of administrative support for academic initiatives, and the optimization of resource allocation to align with institutional priorities.
