Academic Program

Academic program student learning outcomes assessment is a reflective process by which a department reviews and considers the effectiveness of instructional methods, class activities, curriculum, and student engagement by measuring student learning. The Academic Assessment Steering Committee (AASC), consisting of representative faculty from all colleges with membership distributed by number of academic programs by college, provides oversight for academic program student learning outcomes assessment following the guidelines provided in the Academic Assessment Policy. 

Faculty in each program follow a regular process of collecting student learning artifacts and assessing student learning using direct measures, such as an objective test or performance-based assignment evaluated with an analytic rubric. Data collected through this process is analyzed and summarized in an assessment document based on the Academic Program Student Learning Outcomes Assessment Document Template* and Academic Program Student Learning Outcomes Assessment Rubric adopted by the AASC. 

Academic program student learning outcomes assessment documents are submitted to the AASC on an annual basis for peer-review using the criteria in the Academic Program Student Learning Outcomes Assessment Rubric. Each assessment document is independently reviewed by two members of the AASC, one representing a closely aligned discipline and one from another discipline. After reviewing independently, the two reviewers compare their reviews and compile reconciled feedback to suggest potential improvements to the assessment process or documentation.
