Statewide Review of Academic Programs

At a meeting in August 2010, the Governor charged the Coordinating Board of Higher Education and the Missouri Department of Higher Education to review all academic programs at two-year and four-year colleges and universities across the state.  The purpose of the review was to ensure that state resources are invested effectively to address the state’s future need for well-prepared graduates.
