Student Learning at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

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.

The University Of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's mission statement established high expectations for excellence in all three of its major endeavors--educating students for assuming leadership roles, expanding knowledge through research, and enhancing the quality of life for people in the state and nation through service. One way in which the University ensures that the tradition of academic excellence is maintained is through the systematic assessment of education programs. All programs in the University have developed customized measures to track the outcomes of the Carolina education. Results of assessing learning outcomes provide feedback at the program level which is used to strengthen the student experience, and provide the strongest possible academic experience for undergraduate, graduate, and professional students.

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.
