Program Learning Outcomes
By using various assessment tools and/or rubrics within the classroom, American Public University System (APUS) is able to capture a snapshot of students’ success in fulfilling their program outcomes. Signature assignments, generally in the final course of a program, 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 of M.S. Applied Business Analytics students at APUS.
- PO#1- Construct descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytical models.
- PO#2- Use text mining, and data mining, sampling, and data collection techniques in the processes of model building for data analysis.
- PO#3- Define and quantify business problems for the purposes of analytical investigation and decision-making. .
- PO#4- Analyze the interpretation of results and outputs from statistical analysis operations.
- PO#5- Communicate statistical and analytical results and reports for the purpose of decision-making.
End of Program Survey
Student satisfaction is extremely important at American Public University System. Students are asked to complete a survey at the conclusion of their program to give insight on their experience. Below are anonymous, self-reported results, from the End of Program survey, for students in the M.S. Applied Business Analytics Program.
