Assessment

Colleges working collaboratively to expand access and opportunity for highly talented lower-income students.

Every eight years, each department conducts a self-study using annual reports to evaluate student learning. This process identifies opportunities to enhance assessment methods and departmental success, with data support from the Office of Institutional Research.

The WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC) promotes institutional improvement and ensures accredited institutions meet standards while fulfilling their missions for students and the public good.

Santa Clara University consistently produces, assesses, and publishes data on student success, including retention and graduation rates, as well as evidence of student learning.
