Programmatic assessment of student learning demonstrates that students have appropriate knowledge, skills, and competencies in their chosen discipline. Assessment begins with a plan that clearly states learning outcomes for the program along with how and when these outcomes will be assessed on a continuous cycle.
A curriculum map aligns these learning outcomes with required courses in the program that introduce, reinforce, and show mastery of the outcomes as a student progresses towards graduation. Taken together, all of this information provides a basis for assessment of student achievement and continuous improvement.
Academic Roadmaps include suggestions to help students maximize their course schedules. It should be noted that there are several ways to complete most concentrations so it is important for candidates to seek advisement each semester and to review the department handbook. Visit the programs pages to view individual roadmaps.
