Student Learning at Fayetteville 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.

Fayetteville State University has a long history of assessment activities, beginning in the early 1980's with its placement testing program for incoming freshmen and, in the 1990's with its assessment program for students at the mid-point of their college experience. In all cases, student outcomes data have been used to improve opportunities for students to learn.� Additionally, regular and systematic assessment of student satisfaction has�resulted in�improvements�to the overall climate of the FSU campus.

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.

The CLA was not completed last year.
