What are the differences between institutional-level assessment, school-level assessment, and program-level assessment?
The Institutional Plan for the Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes emphasizes the assessment of student learning at different levels of institutional operation, including institutional-level, school-level, and program-level assessment. Institutional-level assessment is the assessment of students that crosses programs and divisions. Results broadly capture the current level of UMUC learning as an institution. School-level assessment is the evaluation of student learning using school-wide tools that assess students across programs and divisions. Program-level assessment is the evaluation of student learning experiences within one specific program of study. More specific information about each level of assessment is provided in the Institutional Plan for the Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes.
