Keywords: Assessment ; Student Learning Objectives
Abstract:

With the growing focus on assessment and accountability, programs at many universities are now expected to define learning goals and objectives at the program level and to devise strategies for assessing whether these goals and objectives are being met. This paper looks at strategies for assessment at the program level (as opposed to the course level) and describes one institution's experience with assessment of the undergraduate statistics major program.
