Our Assessment Philosophy
Assessment is an integral part of the continuous process of learning and development with the purpose of enhancing a student’s total university experience. Assessment uses well-defined outcomes and criteria employing multiple measures. The information derived from assessment activities will be used to facilitate student learning and development, to promote faculty and staff growth and to improve the quality of academic and nonacademic programs, services and facilities.
Rationale for Testing Services
Testing is just one means of assessment. It is a vehicle through which assessment of student learning outcomes is accomplished, as well as a resource that provides students, faculty, staff, community and business partners with an attitude of service that demonstrates value in human relationships, personal excellence, human dignity, diversity and commitment to lifelong learning.
