Academic Program Assessment
ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½â€™s academic programs engage in ongoing student learning outcomes assessment by identifying specific learning outcomes, measuring progress on those outcomes, and implementing data-driven improvements. This process results in the submission of annual assessment documentation in the form of a Continuous Improvement Report, or CIR.
Our academic programs also undergo periodic comprehensive evaluation through our own institutional or an external review by a programmatic or professional accreditation agency.
Both the continuous improvement and program review processes help us support and assure the quality of the student learning experience here at ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½.
We’ve included links to our most frequently utilized resources below. For even more detail on academic program assessment, please visit (ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ log-in required).
