Assessment
INTENT: The program has documented, measurable objectives, including expected outcomes for graduates. The program regularly assesses its progress against its objectives and uses the results of the assessments to identify program improvements and to modify the program’s objectives.The Intent must be met in order for a program to be deemed accreditable. One way to meet the Intent of this criterion is to satisfy each one of the Standards listed below. To do this, answer the questions associated with the Standards. If one or more Standards are not satisfied, it is incumbent upon the institution to demonstrate and document clearly and unequivocally how the Intent is met in some alternative fashion.
If you are having more than one program evaluated, particularly if the programs are on separate campuses, the answers to these questions may vary from one program to another. If this is the case, please use separate copies of this section for each program, and clearly delineate which program is being described.
