Academic Assessment
The purpose of assessment is to facilitate the highest quality educational experience for our students through the systematic collection and interpretation of student competencies at graduation, at defining points through the curricula (general education and major) and at entrance.
Academic Assessment Liaison Committee (AALC)
The AALC is comprised of faculty representatives from across the University who meet monthly during the regular semester to discuss assessment problems and process. Read about the AALC's charge and download a current list of committee members.
