8) State How the Evidence was Interpreted, Evaluated, or Analyzed
The Department has a detailed assessment program for the BS degree, but no similar formal program for assessment of the MS degree.
9) State How Many Pieces of Evidence Were Collected
The Department has a detailed assessment program for the BS degree, but no similar formal program for assessment of the MS degree.
10) Summarize the Actual Results
The Department has a detailed assessment program for the BS degree, but no similar formal program for assessment of the MS degree.
11) Briefly Describe the Distribution and Discussion of Results
The Department has a detailed assessment program for the BS degree, but no similar formal program for assessment of the MS degree.
12) Describe Conclusions and Discoveries

15) Other Important Information
Our BS assessment program is very successful at measuring achievement and determining modifications to allow continuous quality improvement. But it is a lot of work. We have not had time/resources to apply the program to assessment of the MS or PhD degrees. We hope to do so in the future.
