Reviews

Cyclical reviews of our programs and faculties are an integral part of Dalhousie’s academic quality assurance framework. Reviews ensure that our academic offerings meet both our internal standards and the standards set by external governing bodies.

Faculty reviews of academic programs

Cyclical reviews of programs enhance the effectiveness and student focus of our program offerings. Faculty reviews of academic programs demonstrate a commitment to responsibility and transparency by our academic units and help them to achieve their strategic goals. 

Accreditation

In addition to Dalhousie's internal quality assurance processes, some academic programs are subject to accreditation by professional bodies at the national or international levels. These bodies provide rigorous quality assurance to ensure that graduates will meet specific educational and competency requirements within their chosen profession. 

Senate reviews of faculties

Through regular reviews of our faculties, Dalhousie demonstrates accountability to its communities and supports the continuous improvement of our academic units.  

The policy is currently under review and Senate Reviews of Faculties are not being undertaken
