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.

Assessment results for 2010 (n=40) showed students seemed strong in planning, conducting and documenting interviews; the average score was 2.93.  However, students were weak in documenting fraud investigations and analyzing internal controls; the average score was 1.78. Both scores were on a 3-point scale, with 1 being unacceptable, 2 being acceptable, and 3 being proficient.
