What Is Assessment?

What is Assessment? Assessment is the systematic collection of evidence about student learning in order to improve that learning.

The Office of Assessment and Accreditation at St. Cloud State University supports continuous improvement of student learning at the course-, program-, and university-level.

We provide information, workshops, and consulting services to assist programs in their efforts to meet the learning goals they have set for their students. We coordinate the Assessment Steering Committee, Co-curricular assessment, Liberal Education Assessment, and work with the Our Husky Compact Oversight Committee on institutional assessment.
