Review and Assessment Process for Program Educational Goals
Plan and Process
Our Program Educational Goals and specific Student Learning Outcomes are assessed each year as part of our continuous improvement efforts. We begin with an Assessment Plan that identifies the courses in which goals and outcomes are introduced and assessed. Assessment results are collected through our Learning Management System (LMS). Faculty members review those results after the end of each semester, then adjust courses or curriculum to help students improve performance and opportunity for success in the future.
This is the assessment plan that aligns Educational Goals and Student Learning Outcomes and identifies where and how these goals and outcomes are measured and assessed.
