Assessment Grant Program

The Assessment Grant Program was established by the Dean of the Division of Undergraduate Education in 2008 to support faculty-based activities to assess student learning in undergraduate majors and in general education. The program provides one-time funding of up to $7,000 for a Senate faculty member to either advance a department's assessment program for an undergraduate major or develop an assessment program for one of the general education learning outcomes. All faculty project directors commit to continuing the assessment initiative after the funding period. The Spring 2012 call for proposals can be found here.

The program began in 2008 and has now supported seven cohorts of faculty:
