Academic Assessment Mission Statement

Given the overall mission of the College, the mission of the Assessment Committee is to promote student learning and student success. Our interpretation of student success is that students learn what they need to know in order to accomplish their goals, which in most cases are related to career preparation/advancement and/or to transfer to a senior institution. Thus, the Assessment Committee will focus on instructional program evaluation and improvement, with the objective of maximizing student learning outcomes and student achievement.
