After several semesters of discussion about student outcomes for the program, the faculty
spent several semesters realigning and redeveloping the curriculum. It was redesigned
(Spring 2009), standards were developed (Fall 2008 & Spring 2009) and are now getting
finalized (Fall 2009), and new doctoral program was designed, developed (Spring 2009)
and recently approved (Fall 2009). New assessment plans will now have to be designed
to collect more meaningful information. The anticipated completion time will be for
Spring 2010.
5. Dissemination of results, conclusions, and discoveries. How and with whom were the results
shared?
Results are reviewed and shared by program faculty and a copy is sent to the department
