Program Learning Outcomes
By using various assessment tools and/or rubrics within the classroom, American Public University System (APUS) can capture a snapshot of students’ success in fulfilling their program outcomes. Signature assignments are used to assess students’ proficiency in meeting each program outcome (PO). In order to show proficiency in an area, a student must achieve a score of 85% or greater. American Public University System strives to have 70% or more (university benchmark) of our students reaching the 85% proficiency standard. When this benchmark isn't met, action is taken to improve curriculum and instruction to better serve our students. The below chart shows combined results for this program.

Learning Outcomes Assessment: Peregrine General Education
Undergraduate students at American Public University System (both AMU and APU) are required to participate in our national testing initiative as they near degree completion. This involves completion of the Peregrine general education (PGE) assessment. This initiative enables us to evaluate and inform teaching and learning, as well as benchmark our programs. Data visualizations are available, showing APUS’ overall PGE results.
