The Office of Assessment and Program Review serves as a
resource to academic departments and programs in providing
consultation related to :
- developing program assessment plans,
- selecting assessment methodologies, analysis, and
reporting
- linking results with strategic planning and budgeting.
The Office implements University-wide assessment activities
such as General Education Assessment and reporting and works
with a variety of University Committees and governance bodies
to enhance student learning, retention and success.
If your program is planning new curricula, or is significantly
revamping the curriculum, a visit to this office is strongly
recommended for suggestions or feedback about the incorporation
of effective assessment strategies in the curricular proposal.
The Executive Director provides both one-on-one consultations
and group presentations as desired. The Office also coordinates
services provided by the Outcomes Assessment
Resource Group, an internal consulting group
comprised of experienced faculty, who make themselves available
to support colleagues in developing or reformulating their
assessment activities.
All academic programs participate in a periodic Academic
Program Review, which is mandated by the state
of Illinois. These reviews are based in part on the annual
assessments of student learning goals and outcomes conducted
at the program level and related to classroom-based assessments.
This Office serves as a liaison to the Illinois Board of Higher
Education in the coordination of program reviews. Contact
the office for up-to-date information on program review standards
and timelines. The Executive Director is available to provide
guidance to deans, chairpersons, program coordinators, and
faculty in developing the self studies and documents required
