The assessment effort is led by the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment to collect data on program effectiveness. Our rubrics are based off of the American Association of Universities and Colleges&#8217; (AAC&amp;U&#8217;s) VALUE rubrics. These rubrics, as well as the student learning outcomes that guide the assessment process, can be found on the Faculty Resources page (below).

With a redesigned assessment process, we will gain insight into whether all students have the opportunity to fulfill 91福利\u2019s Core Curriculum program learning outcomes. In 2025 and beyond, we are centering faculty in the evaluation of their students to foster a bottom-up approach to assessment.
