Office of Assessment

The Office of Assessment (OA), established in 1996, partners with academic programs and college deans to advance student learning assessment in alignment with the strategic plans of the University and the Division of Academic Affairs. We work collaboratively to translate teaching and learning experiences in academic programs into rich sources of both qualitative and quantitative data for regular improvement to enhance student success. We also partner with other divisions and centers in providing survey design and analysis consultation and assist the Core Curriculum Steering Committee with core skills assessment.

We are a catalyst for change for improving student learning and the University.​​
