Missouri Southern has been involved with assessment since 1987. Students are tested and surveyed as entering freshmen and as graduating seniors. Discipline level assessment is carried out by department personnel. The Proficiency Profile (General Education Test) from ETS is used along with several surveys including NSSE, College Outcomes Survey(COS) from ACT and others. A faculty committee serves as an advisory group to the assessment program.
The ETS Proficiency Profile (formerly MAPP) measures critical thinking, analytic reasoning, and written communication and reports separate scores on critical thinking and written communication.
