Student Learning at Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

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.

Departments assess how well students have achieved key learning outcomes to assure students attain specialized knowledge relevant to their discipline. Assessment of general education skills such as critical thinking, quantitative reasoning, communication skills, and comprehension of historical and contemporary cultures assures graduates possess a generalized knowledge that encourages lifelong learning and contributions to a global society.
