Student Learning at Indiana University - Purdue University Fort Wayne

All colleges and universities use multiple approaches to measure student learning. Many of these are specific to particular disciplines, many are coordinated with accrediting agencies, and many are based on outcomes after students have graduated.

Assessment plans for degree and certificate programs describe the means used to assess and document student academic achievement in each of the academic majors at IPFW. Further, the plans describe the processes used to reach conclusions about whether the goals for the program are being achieved. The purpose of assessment is program improvement, with the focus on the goals of the program, rather than the achievement of the student in completing the requirements of the program. Programs that have earned professional accreditation have met additional expectations for program assessment.

Pilot Project to Measure Core Learning Outcomes

Colleges and universities participating in the College Portrait measure the typical improvement in students' abilities to think, reason, and write using one of three tests. This is part of a pilot project to better understand and compare what students learn between their freshman and senior years at different colleges and universities.

Learning outcome data is not available at this time.
