Program assessment offers one lens through which we can examine the effectiveness of our educational programs at Santa Clara University.
Educational Assessment supports Academic Program Assessment by:
- Reviewing each department's Annual Assessment Report
- Assisting departments before and after the Program Review process
- Facilitating the University Assessment Committee (UAC) meetings
-
Principles Guiding the Assessment of Student Learning at Santa Clara University
