UNIVERSITY ASSESSMENT

The assessment program at Southeast has grown  out of commitments dating from 1967, when the University's Office of Institutional Research was founded. From the mid to late 70's, the University collected information relating to student academic achievement and institutional effectiveness. Southeast's original assessment plan, approved by the Board of Regents in 1987, specified directions for the development of assessment in University Studies, the undergraduate major, and teacher education.   The University Assessment Review Committee (UARC) was created as an ad hoc committee in 1992 to evaluate and revise the University's assessment plan and became a standing committee charged with overseeing, coordinating, and reviewing the implementation and administration of the University’s assessment plan in Fall 1994.  Assessment was recognized as an area of strength in the most recent NCA accreditation visit.
