The purpose of outcomes assessment is to seek reliable, useful evidence about student learning in an academic program and to use that evidence to improve delivery of the program.
At UGA, according to criteria and policies established by the faculty Program Review and Assessment Committee , the faculty responsible for each undergraduate program at the University of Georgia :
- Define clear learning outcomes for students in the program;
- Identify and implement measures that assess whether their students attain those outcomes;
- Analyze the data gathered through the assessment measures for information relevant to the program; and
- Use that resulting information as the basis for improvements in the program.
Reporting on this ongoing assessment occurs on a 3-year cycle that is integrated with the 7-year Program Review Cycle.
