At the University of Oklahoma (OU), program assessment is aimed at providing faculty in every department, opportunities to define knowledge, abilities, skills, habits of mind, and attitudes they expect graduates of each of our degree programs to be able to demonstrate once students have completed a set of courses as well as other related/required educational experiences in their majors or disciplines. Further, findings from the assessment process is valuable in assisting all academic departments to continuously determine what pedagogical and curricular reforms can be undertaken to improve student learning.
