Free Worksheet: TOWS Framework for Strategic Program Review

Move from survey findings to evidence-based action

Academic programs often conduct SWOT analyses and gather extensive survey data—but translating those insights into targeted, strategic action can be challenging. The TOWS Framework provides a structured approach to connect internal strengths and weaknesses with external opportunities and threats, helping academic leaders move from analysis to evidence-based action planning.
This worksheet guides you through the four core TOWS strategy quadrants, using strategic questions tailored for academic program review, accreditation self-study, and curriculum planning. It’s ideal for assessment committees, program directors, and leadership teams working to align survey findings with institutional strategy.
Inside, you’ll get:
  • Strategic questions to help your team interpret survey and SWOT data in context
  • A structured TOWS matrix designed specifically for academic program planning
  • Prompts to identify initiatives, risks, and opportunities grounded in real data
  • A fillable template to support collaborative decision-making and next steps
Whether you’re preparing for accreditation, strengthening your program review process, or aligning initiatives with stakeholder feedback, this worksheet helps your team connect data to strategy with clarity and confidence.
