Assessment of Student Learning
Assessment of student learning is a critical component of Georgian Court University's academic and student support programs. Each program aligns its goals and outcomes with the university's Mission and Institutional Student Learning Goals. Faculty and student support staff determine the best way to evidence outcomes and act on the results through continuous improvement. While many programs hold their own external accreditation, all programs follow the standards of the Middle States Commission on Higher Education.
Georgian Court has a defined plan to assess student learning at the course, program, and institutional level:
- Course level: faculty self-reflection via an end-of-course survey, plus student evaluation through the ETS Student Instructional Report II (SIR II)
- Program level: curricular and co-curricular programs follow a three-year assessment plan built on goals and outcomes, with annual reporting
- Institutional level: the Office of Assessment coordinates assessment of the university’s Institutional Student Learning Goals, using data from both curricular and co-curricular programs
