Student Learning Assessment

Overview

Program level assessment focuses on what and how an academic program is contributing to the learning and development of students as a group. Program assessment plans clearly define the program’s educational mission and the outcomes students are expected to demonstrate as a result of the program. Plans also show the alignment of course curricula to the stated program outcomes, describe how the outcomes will be assessed and outline how results will be used.

Programmatic Assessment Plans

At UW–Madison and WSB, every academic program must have an active assessment plan. Quality program assessment plans should achieve the following:

  • Articulate specific and measurable program learning outcomes

  • Identify where in the curriculum the learning takes place

  • Highlight engagement in at least one assessment activity each year, and at least one direct assessment every 3 years

  • Report findings annually to the Office of the Provost including plans for improvement

  • Report findings every 5 years for AACSB accreditation

Accessing WSB Program Assessment Plans

Currently, we are working to develop a platform to access WSB programmatic assessment plans. We will send an update through the WSB Intranet when it is ready!
