Why do we Assess?
The assessment of academic programs and student services, which is a critical component of Middle States accreditation, provides an opportunity for us to reflect on our mission, goals, and desired outcomes. The assessment process empowers us to determine how well we are achieving our goals, where we would like to make improvements, and what improvements we can make in order to ensure the best outcomes for our students. It also enables us to formally track how implemented improvements impact our students, which informs future plans and provides an opportunity for targeted and timely actions.
