The process of program evaluation was utilized to evaluate the education program, provide information to make decisions on its ability to comply with mandates from the state education department, and develop or improve the program to meet the goals of the new initiative to meet the needs of English language learners. The program evaluation process began with a curricular review, included several evaluation measures, and was implemented across a four-year time span to gain state approval. The resulting evaluating process conducted at a small, private university will aid other institutions to design a plan for implementing innovative programs.
