This review includes the following NAST publications: Procedures for Institutions; Instructions for Preparing Curricular Tables in the NAST Format; Procedures for the Self-Study Document: Format A; Procedures for the Self-Study Document: Format B; Procedures for the Self-Study Document: Format C; Optional Supplemental Questions for Self-Study; Policies and Procedures for Reviews of New Curricula; and Procedures for Visiting Evaluators.
Consultation with a broad range of individuals is a critical part of this review. NAST invites your institution to participate in the review process. Please share this email with your faculty, students, staff, and administrators. We look forward to the participation of interested members of your institution.
