Program Assessment
All programs have identified individual Program Learning Outcomes (PLO's) that support the General Learning Outcomes of the college. These learning outcomes are developed with faculty and industry input. Every academic program has an assessment plan that establishes its main PLO's based on industry requirements and expectation of graduates of the program. The information from the results of the assessments or external data is provided to faculty and is reviewed through Academic Affairs to support teaching and curriculum improvement.
An assessment plan for each program is located on the program's webpage. To view a program's assessment plan, select the academic program, and click the Assessment Plan icon located at the bottom of the page.
