Assessment

Welcome

Welcome to The Catholic University of America’s website on assessment of student learning.

At its most basic, assessment in higher education is a process that helps universities and colleges ascertain whether they are fulfilling their missions and achieving their goals – whether they are making a difference in students’ lives.

First and foremost, CUA’s student learning outcomes are grounded in the University’s mission and shaped by our history.

Assessment, and the invaluable feedback it provides, informs us of areas in need of improvement thereby strengthening our curricula. To that end, the Office of the Provost will make every effort to support faculty as they assess courses and programs and implement strategies toward curricular enhancement.
