Student Service Program Review

WSU Student Service Program Review

The Office of Assessment and Accreditation deploys several tools to assess the co-curricular learning of university students. Efforts are scheduled annually and focus on student engagement and several identified student learning outcomes, identified and adopted by the Council for Advancement of Standards in Higher Education. The specific learning outcomes are:

• Knowledge acquisition, construction, integration and application
• Cognitive complexity
• Intrapersonal development
• Interpersonal competence
• Humanitarianism and civic engagement
• Practical competence

The following assessments support inquiry and decision making related to the co-curricular student experience.
