Arkansas Code 6-61-214 requires the Arkansas Department of Higher Education (ADHE) Coordinating Board to review all Arkansas academic programs every 7-10 years.
Accredited/licensed/state-certified UAMS programs will follow the review process and schedule set forth by the accrediting/licensing body. The site team’s written evaluation and the institutional response will be sent to ADHE within six weeks of receipt.
For programs that do not have program or college-level accreditation, external reviewers/consultants will be used to review the program. A minimum of two out-of-state reviewers associated with similar programs will be selected by UAMS. This review will include a site visit by at least one consultant and a comprehensive self-study. The consultants’ evaluation and the institutional response will be sent to ADHE within six weeks of receipt. Self-study guidelines can be found here.
UAMS programs are also reviewed internally with College officials and the Office of the Provost every 2 years.
