The University has a long history of commitment to assessing student learning. With the adoption of the current University of Minnesota’s undergraduate student learning outcomes (SLOs) and student development outcomes (SDOs), the University has undertaken a renewed effort to establish more consistent assessment framework across all departments, provided stronger central leadership, simplified expectations, and worked to connect the multiple streams of assessment data to better inform academic planning.
Our mission is to continuously enhance the student experience by providing higher education units with data-driven frameworks for assessing student learning and development.
