Assessment of Learning Outcomes
At Marymount University, faculty strive to improve the curriculum and teaching by assessing student learning. Each academic degree program of the university has identified learning outcomes and evaluates the extent to which students achieve them. Various measures are used depending upon 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.
