Assessment Plan Library
This page provides access to assessment plans for many programs at UCA. It replaces the old AOPA assessment plan archive, which is, as of fall 2009, no longer available. Since assessment reports are now a part of departmental annual reports and program reviews, no report date will be recorded in the Assessment Plan Library. Where possible, the most recent plan revision date is indicated in the list; many are or soon will be under revision and will be updated here when possible. The list is arranged by college, program-level, degree, and program name; programs not affiliated with one of the academic colleges are listed under Other Academic Areas at the end of the list. Linked plan documents are in PDF format.
The Academic Planning and Assessment Committee is completing a comprehensive review of program assessment plans, projected to be complete in December 2009.

Note: The BBA programs, the MBA, and the MAcc are accredited by AACSB International - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. Assessment of these programs follows guidelines of the Association. Contact the dean's office, College of Business Administration, for more information. These programs are not at this time linked to separate assessment plans.
Note: The teacher education program--comprising most of the programs in the College of Education and several programs in other colleges across the campus--is accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). Assessment of these programs follows NCATE guidelines and is outlined in a Professional Education Unit (PEU) assessment plan.
