Assessment Planning

• University assessment will consist of three related but distinct efforts:  annual program-level assessment, University and General Education assessment, and special initiatives as part of program review.

• The plan is designed to assess the University Learning Outcomes (ULOs) with special emphasis on the five WASC Senior College and University Commission core competencies, identify standards of performance for students in the institution, and implement a coordinated assessment over a single ten-year cycle of review.
