Student Learning at William Paterson 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.

Learning Assessment Examples

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 part of William Paterson's new general education program, the University Core Curriculum, the Collegiate Learning Assessment (CLA), a core learning outcomes measurement, is being piloted as a potential measurement of the program's student learning outcomes.
