Assessment in the Majors

In 2021, the Assessment in the Majors project shifted to a new model of reporting through the Undergraduate Learning Assessment Inventory. OEA lengthened the reporting cycle and shifted the focus beyond learning and assessment in the majors to reporting on learning in non-major courses, many of which meet the University General Education requirements.

Historically, the Dean and Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education asked departments to submit assessment reports on a bi-annual basis that included learning goals for undergraduate majors and assessment activities.

These reports allow the University to track assessment practices and resulting changes across the curriculum. The following documents summarize those reports.
