Institutional Assessment Plan
Why do we assess Student Learning?
Data collected through the institutional plan framework assists the following constituent groups:
- Students to improve their educational experience and personal development;
- Faculty to modify and improve course content and design;
- Programs to modify and improve curriculum, to review the efficacy of learning outcomes, to document evidence of student learning and program success, and to improve assessments;
- Colleges to prioritize the allocation of resources and monitor the quality and alignment of their degree programs to the mission and strategic plan;
- Academic and support services staff to modify and improve student programming and services; and
- Senior administration to evaluate the quality of degree programs and support services and monitor the institution’s effectiveness in executing its mission.
