Savannah State University Annual Review of Degree Programs

 

Each year the Academic Affairs Office of the University System of Georgia (USG) Board of Regents requires all 26 USG institutions to review all academic programs degree programs including low enrolled and low degree producing programs.  Institutions are expected to continually monitor the enrollment and production of programs as well as evaluate how their portfolio of programs contribute to the strategic missions of the University System of Georgia and the institution.

Savannah State University and the other 25 USG institutions are undergoing this review during the current Spring semester.

Under the leadership of the Interim provost, Dr. Richard C. Miller who is working with the academic deans, a comprehensive review of our programs began last week and the process will continue until completed. No program recommendations or decisions have been made.
