*In some cases a professional accreditor will only examine certain programs within a department (e.g., undergrad but not graduate programs). In that case, external reviews will be arranged for the remaining programs following the Michigan Tech procedures following the schedule outlined above.
by program
- Annual Assessment of Graduate Student Outcomes
- Michigan Tech is participating in the Higher Learning Commission's Assessment Academy (Spring 2016 cohort), with a project focus on assessment of graduate student learning.
- Graduate Program Outcomes Internal Review (5-6 year cycle)
