Mission and Goals

The Faculty Assessment Committee is composed of representatives from the full-time teaching faculty, approved by consent of the full faculty each academic year. Their primary charge is the assessment of institutional learning outcomes for the undergraduate and graduate program, and supporting department and programmatic assessment efforts.  The Assessment Committee supports large-scale planning, as in the design of majors and programs, and smaller-scale efforts to develop individual courses or course activities.
