Evidence of Student Learning - Internal: How will the program measure what I have learned?:

Assignments from courses are collected and reviewed by external evaluators to determine the level of competency for each outcome.

Based on assessment of SU 08 student data, graduates achieved at least 70% proficiency on the Outcomes 1 - 4, with some minor differences between online and face-to-face sections. Sample sizes were very small. No definitive conclusion on statistical significance could be drawn at this point.
