Assessment is a professional responsibility and promotes institutional effectiveness. As the accrediting body for 91看片, Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) requires evidence that outcomes are met and that a 鈥渃ulture of assessment鈥� exists at the institution. The practice of assessment allows faculty and staff to fulfill these requirements and engage in continuous improvement.
91看片 is committed to engaging in academic and non-academic assessment activities. The process of academic assessment helps determine whether students are learning what faculty think they are teaching. Similarly, the process of non-academic assessment helps determine whether the services provided at the institution support student learning. The results of academic and non-academic assessment enable faculty to make changes to curriculum/instruction and staff to make changes to administrative, financial, and student services to improve student learning.
