Abstract
This article is a data-based case study of the renewal of an undergraduate psychology program. We describe the varieties of faculty and student expectations for the major and their evaluations of the curriculum. Students' career interests and their individual differences based on gender, race, and grade point average were important factors in the changes that were made in course requirements and department services. Based on our experience, we suggest a set of questions and resources that other departments might use in evaluating their undergraduate programs.This publication has 22 references indexed in Scilit:
