Student Learning Assessment Report in the Government and International Relations Department

Student learning assessment reports require that faculty, department chairs, and deans: 1) identify the student learning outcomes in their degree program; 2) establish methods that can assess their student learning outcomes; and 3) use the results of their assessment in the decision making process regarding their curriculum and curriculum delivery in a way that maximizes student learning opportunities.  To demonstrate how assessment data are being used to continually improve on courses and programs, each report documents a profile of the program, student learning outcomes, curricular mapping, direct and indirect measures of assessment, and how data are used for continuous improvement.

Institution-wide End of Program Survey Data

The end-of-program survey, administered to all students prior to graduation, seeks information from students regarding needed improvements in educational programs and service areas.  Information derived from a series of Likert scale and open-ended questions assists in determining: 1) the extent to which APUS is meeting the institutional objectives, and 2) the usefulness, currency, and relevancy of its academic programs.
