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.

As UNCSA is a conservatory, students are assessed by juries, portfolios, exhibitions, performances etc. for Professional Readiness, Professional Communication and Literacy, Creative Collaboration, Creative and Artistic Analysis and the Technical and Specialty Skills in their specific discipline. Students are assessed annually and return each year by invitation only.
