The records primarily include annual reports, departmental assessment findings, and student performance data across academic levels. Key components include entering student profiles, mid-program and senior-level assessments (e.g., CAAP exams), credit by examination processes, faculty profiles, and comprehensive assessment plans from colleges and departments such as Agriculture, Engineering, Nursing, and Education. The collection also includes extensive documentation of curriculum development, survey instruments, graduate program reviews, and correspondence between assessment coordinators and department chairs. These materials reflect both internal and external evaluation processes, accreditation reviews, and efforts to improve institutional effectiveness.
This collection offers insight into institutional assessment practices from the 1990s through the early 2000s. It serves as a vital resource for researchers studying educational measurement, academic program evaluation, student learning outcomes, and institutional accountability in higher education. It is also useful for program administrators engaged in curriculum improvement and accreditation.
