Assessing Student Program Achievement

At 黑料网, we strive to provide students with the learning opportunities and experiences needed to be successful in their degree programs and in their careers. With student learning and student success at the core of our academic mission, the Office of Academic Excellence and the Office of Institutional Assessment work to ensure that our programs are assessing the extent to which students are able to achieve their expected outcomes and are seeking ways to improve the educational experiences for our students.

Using the most up-to-date guidelines from SACSCOC, we have been working on developing a Simplified Assessment Framework that will allow programs to implement more meaningful and manageable practices to assess student achievement of all program student learning outcomes (PSLOs).
