Degree programs in the College of Arts and Sciences have their own Major Learning Outcomes and Assessment Protocols. These are found within the program descriptions.

Assessment Protocols: 

In the College of Arts and Sciences, assessment protocols are designed within each major to document a student‘s development in relation to the unique outcomes of that major. The assessment protocols are founded on four principles:

1) Student learning is the central focus of the college‘s efforts.

2) Each student‘s assessment will consider both the mastery of
    content and the learning outcomes established for the program.

3) Each student should be able to demonstrate the application of
    learning beyond the classroom.

4) Students should develop the skills and confidence to become effective,
    independent, lifelong learners as a result of their educational experience.

Assessment addresses these principles by requiring students to demonstrate what they have learned through a variety of activities such as writing assignments, course examinations, creative projects, team activities, internship experiences, and public presentations. Students prepare portfolios, defined differently by major, as the record of the assessment process.
