External Review for Existing Doctoral Programs

RIT’s existing doctoral programs will be reviewed on a seven to ten-year cycle. New doctoral programs will be initially reviewed after year five. The RIT Graduate School will be responsible for the review process and tracking the review schedule (below). This external review process will begin with the longest standing doctoral degree programs. The goal is to review two programs per year. Programs scheduled for review will submit a proposed program review timeline to the Associate Provost and Dean of the Graduate School for approval.
