Our Approach

The Educational Quality Framework, which drives continuous improvement in curriculum development and review activities for Camosun鈥檚 credentialed programs and credit offerings, ensures that programs remain current, relevant, and of the highest quality. 听In alignment with the college鈥檚 2023-2028 strategic priorities, these activities support our goal of providing education that prepares students for the challenges and opportunities of the future:

  1. Annual Program Snapshot (launching Fall 2023):

    • provides an opportunity to reflect on accomplishments, as well as identify trends, opportunities, or challenges for the upcoming year
    • provides data to inform the more in-depth program review process

  1. Program Review:

    • program evaluation that occurs on a 5鈥7-year cycle
    • includes self-study and external review, incorporating quantitative and qualitative feedback from key stakeholders

  1. Program Renewal and Responsive Curriculum Development:

    • process to build upon outcomes from program review recommendations, and
    • ongoing enhancement of curriculum in response to identified issues and opportunities

  1. Educational Approvals:

    • approvals process where curriculum proposals are vetted through Camosun鈥檚 governance process

Camosun colleagues can find more specifics and resources in the site.

About the Quality Assurance Process Audit (QAPA)

Camosun听participated in the听听(QAPA) during 2019/20. Initiated by the Degree Quality Assessment Board (DQAB), this external review process ensures that all BC public post-secondary institutions periodically conduct rigorous, ongoing program and institutional quality assessments. To learn more, see Camosun鈥檚 Institutional Report which was submitted for the 2019/20 QAPA process.

Camosun received the final听听in 2020, with valuable recommendations based on the QAPA findings. Since then, we have been working to implement their suggestions as we enhance Camosun鈥檚 educational quality processes.听
