PREE

PREE operationalizes PSG-2023 requirements at the program level, demonstrating CUST’s strong commitment to systematic, outcome-oriented, and continuous quality improvement for all academic programs offered by the University. CUST formally adopted the Program Review for Effectiveness and Enhancement (PREE) framework in the 1st meeting of the Institutional Quality Circle (IQC) held on October 8, 2024. The adoption of PREE institutionalizes a structured and outcome-oriented framework for the regular review of academic programs. PREE focuses on evaluating program design, learning outcomes, curriculum coherence, teaching and assessment strategies, student progression and achievement, graduate attributes, and stakeholder feedback. This framework requires academic departments to conduct periodic self-reviews of their programs, supported by documentary evidence and critical reflection on program effectiveness. The PREE process involves internal evaluation followed by peer review, leading to the formulation of program-level improvement plans aimed at enhancing academic quality and relevance. Continuous monitoring of these plans ensures that corrective actions are implemented and their impact on student learning is systematically assessed. By adopting PREE, CUST ensures the sustained quality, relevance, and competitiveness of its academic offerings, while promoting a culture of reflective practice, innovation, and continuous enhancement at the program level.
