Student learning is at the very heart of our purpose and avocation. Since 2006 the College has embarked on a very aggressive campaign to establish a comprehensive, faculty-driven outcomes assessment model. 

During this time we:

• Sent our initial team of faculty and administration to Alverno College for Student Learning Outcomes training
  (June of 2006)
• Formed the Outcomes Assessment Team, or OAT (July of 2006)
• Conducted our initial Faculty Training in assessing student learning (August of 2006)
• Defined the College’s Eight Institutional Abilities (November of 2006)
• Implemented a comprehensive plan to improve student success in the sciences (November of 2007)
• Formally adopted the College’s eight abilities (February of 2009)
• Completed Phase I of our Student Learning Outcomes assessment process, aligning program, division and degree outcomes to our eight institutional abilities (May of 2010)
• Completed Phase III of our Student Learning Outcomes assessment process, aligning course objectives to program, division, and degree outcomes (May of 2011)
• Initiated the timeline for Phase II of our Student Learning Outcomes assessment process where we will assess program, division, and degree outcomes by our institutional abilities (May of 2011)
