Evidence of Student Learning and Student Success

Student Learning Assessments

Student performance in academic programs is assessed using multiple formative and summative measures. Results are reported annually through the University's clearly defined assessment process, a process focused on continuous, quality improvement. 

Institutional learning goals are directly assessed in general education course offerings and indirectly measured by institutional surveys. 

• Students will develop abilities foundational to a liberal arts education and professional study. 
• Students will explore multiple disciplinary perspectives to understand the world. 
• Students will actively engage antiracist and anti-bias practice toward an inclusive, diverse, and equitable community.
