Undergraduate Assessment
With the adoption of the current University of Minnesota’s undergraduate student learning outcomes (SLOs) and student development outcomes (SDOs), the University has undertaken a renewed effort to establish more consistent assessment framework across all departments, provided stronger central leadership, simplified expectations, and worked to connect the multiple streams of assessment data to better inform academic planning. Our mission is to support all academic and support units in their assessment of student learning/development process to continuously enhance the undergraduate student experience.
