Instructions for 2023-2024 Academic Program Assessment and Reporting
Your work in programs is to develop students in the knowledge and abilities you have described in your Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs). The process of Assessment is your evaluation of how well the students are doing compared to your expectations, especially your expectations as they complete the program. As you measure student learning, and then make conclusions about where and how students are meeting program expectations, you will want to identify changes to implement in your program that can improve student learning. This is the process of curriculum development and assessment done collaboratively by faculty each year. As improvements are implemented and new evaluations of learning are made, this builds to a cycle of continuous improvement.
This year program faculty and staff are asked to work on curriculum development and assessment activities related to your Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) most closely aligned Christian Faith (University Learning Outcome #1) and Integrated Disciplinary Knowledge (University Learning Outcome #3).
A representative of every undergraduate major, stand-alone certificate and graduate or professional program should submit their report on this work for the 2023-2024 academic year by October 1, 2024, the final due date.
