The purpose of an assessment plan is to facilitate continuous improvement of student learning. Assessment is an ongoing process based on program goals, student learning outcomes, careful selection of a variety of measurement tools, and a plan indicating how data is used for program development. The COEPS Assessment Committee created the resources provided here to guide programs in their work.

It is our goal that all programs will have a clearly articulated assessment plan aligned with student learning outcomes. Program faculty and staff should generate the student learning outcomes by considering the critical knowledge and skills expected of program completers. Implementation and evaluation of an assessment plan is part of programs' continuous improvement process.
