Working to establish a culture of assessment and improve outcomes assessment processes, the Office of Accreditation and Assessment (OAA) has strategically increased communication and resources related to assessment. Initially, the outcomes assessment process focused more on accountability to the exclusion of improvement in process, services, and programs. The focus is now toward quality of outcomes and assessment, with requirements that have continually improved to help support the process and use of assessment results to make data-informed decisions.
Those responsible for assessment, as well as administrators, were notified of the upcoming curriculum map requirement. To help support faculty, OAA created a website with resources related to curriculum maps and plans to hold workshops in Spring and Summer 2025 to assist with curriculum map development. Curriculum maps act as a critical tool for program assessment by providing a comprehensive overview of how a program is designed to achieve its learning objectives.
