General Education Assessment

Educational assessment is the systematic collection, analysis, and use of data related to academic programs. The general education assessment package is designed to measure the extent to which students have attained those competencies identified by the university. Data collected will be used for program improvement purposes rather than determination of individual student progression through a program of study. Participation in assessment activities related to general education goals is a requirement for all undergraduate students.
