Assessment

Every eight years, each department undergoes a self-study based on annual reports assessing student learning. Findings from this process offer opportunities for improved assessment methods and departmental success. The Office of Institutional Research provides data to support these self-studies.

The WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC) fosters institutional improvement and assures the public that accredited institutions are meeting Commission standards and fulfilling their missions in service to their students and the public good.
