Student Learning at Wayne State University

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.

Wayne State University is committed to developing and enhancing a culture of assessment based on continuous improvement of student learning. We strive to articulate clear learning outcome expectations based on shared educational values, to design and deliver excellent educational programs that achieve the desired learning outcomes, and to continually assess and evaluate the results of our educational programs to improve their success. This is a shared responsibility among student and teacher, teacher and administrator, and the university and the broader community.

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.

This university is in the process of collecting and analyzing learning outcomes test results.
