Our Assessment Philosophy
Assessment is an integral part of the continuous
process of learning and development with the purpose
of enhancing a student’s total university
experience. Assessment uses well-defined outcomes
and criteria employing multiple measures. The
information derived from assessment activities will be
used to facilitate student learning and development, to
promote faculty and staff growth and to improve the
quality of academic and nonacademic programs,
services and facilities.
Rationale for Testing Services
Testing is just one means of assessment. It is a
vehicle through which assessment of student
learning outcomes is accomplished, as well as a
resource that provides students, faculty, staff,
community and business partners with an attitude of
service that demonstrates value in human
relationships, personal excellence, human dignity,
diversity and commitment to lifelong learning.
