Program Assessment

Program Assessment focuses on the student attainment of program-level learning outcomes. Faculty assess program learning outcomes once every three years. As of 2020–2021, the full report on assessment results occurs in the year three Integrated Report and three years later in the College Area Review. On an annual basis, faculty provide updates on assessment activities related to Program Assessment.

Program assessment is a process used to assess student attainment of the program’s student learning outcomes for the purpose of discovering what is working well and where improvements can be made to increase student learning.  Programs assess the program’s student learning outcomes once every three years. The process for program assessment is simple: 

  1. Planning: Define learning outcomes, create an assessment plan (Year 1)
  2. Collect and analyze data to assess student attainment of learning outcomes (Year 2)
  3. Report on results and start Implementing action plan based on results to improve the program and student learning (Year 3)
