When conducting program-level assessment of student learning, programs investigate whether students learned what faculty expected them to learn. But what evidence of learning should the program collect? Options range from students’ research reports to oral presentations/defenses to licensing or other exams administered by an external organization. Participants will leave with a feasible plan that they can discuss with colleagues and implement.
