Program Review and Assessment

Last updated on Oct 02, 2025

Program Review

All programs that do not undergo a regular and intensive review through a secondary accreditor (such as NAAB) undergo external, discipline-specific reviews. Fine Arts, Design, Interior Design, and most Humanities & Sciences degree programs are also reviewed and accredited by NASAD, providing an additional layer of program review.

QUESTIONS? Please contact Professor Nataly Gattegno, Chair, Program Review Committee (ngattegno@cca.edu); or Dominick Tracy, Associate Provost for Educational Effectiveness (dtracy@cca.edu).
