Comments: Congratulations on the successful completion of an arduous task. As you continue to reflect on your program we trust that you will include thoughts regarding how to document the strengths of this program through outcome data since the next cycle of review will focus on the outcomes of programs. The reviewers were impressed and gratified at how complete and specific the narrative was covering such applicable courses and specific content addressed in the standard, as well as the clear differentiation between the major and minor preparation. The value of ENGL 479 is demonstrated well for standards such as 3.2.2 and 4.2.1. It would be well to consider this course as a requirement.
