Faculty and staff review and assess academic programs at WNC in order to determine whether intended outcomes are being achieved and to plan program improvements. In accordance with WNC Policy 14-1-1 Assessment and Evaluation, programs should be assessed on a regular basis, and faculty are to use assessment results to improve educational programs.

All active, published degree- and certificate-granting programs are expected to plan, complete and report on assessment activities related to at least one student learning outcome or program outcome every year. Results from these assessment projects are to be included in the program review self-study reports that are completed every five years.
