Assessment

Purpose and Goals

The college is committed to the continual improvement of its academic program through systematic assessment of student growth and accomplishment.


The office carries out this responsibility by:
  • Maintaining a web-based, process management program for assessment that:
    • Aligns program goals with the college mission statement and general education goals
    • Provides curriculum mapping by aligning program objectives and courses
    • Reports assessment activities from academic programs and departments to the administration on a continuous basis within an annual reporting cycle
  • Assisting the faculty in understanding and organizing systematic activities at the course and program levels
  • Assisting program directors, department chairs and deans with the development of valid and reliable assessment activities appropriate to their area of responsibility
  • Organizing and interpreting the information supplied by the web-based reporting system so that the system itself functions as a college-level assessment portfolio—a fully transparent and dynamic college assessment plan
  • Helping faculty and administrators integrate assessment data into their planning and decision making activities
