Assessment of Learning Outcomes

At Marymount University, faculty strive to improve the curriculum and teaching by assessing student learning. Within each academic major at the university, faculty have identified learning outcomes and evaluate the extent to which students achieve them. Additionally, faculty assess student mastery of the core competencies, using various measures depending on the nature of the program: comprehensive examinations, theses, portfolio submissions, examples of student work, and/or standardized professional board examinations. Faculty use the results of these measures to continually improve and strengthen the university’s programs.
