Historical Note

The University of Washington, Office of Academic Programs reports to the dean of the Graduate School and is led by the associate dean for Academic Programs. The Office contributes to the University's educational and research missions by conducting quality assessments of proposed and continuing graduate and undergraduate programs, as well as of research institutes and centers. Reviews of undergraduate programs, research institutes and centers are conducted at the request of deans and vice provosts. Reviews of educational programs are mandated by state law at 10-year intervals, but are conducted at shorter intervals when deemed appropriate. For each program reviewed the assessment process is one of peer review, with review teams individually assembled from UW faculty and from the faculty of other leading research-intensive universities.

Program review is a primary activity of the Graduate School Council. The Graduate School Council is an elected body of graduate faculty that advises the dean on graduate program policies and graduate education issues. The Council's activities are coordinated by the Office of Academic Programs. The Office also oversees graduate program policies published as Graduate School Memoranda.

In circa 2007 the name of the division changed to Graduate School. Office of Academic Affairs and Planning.
