INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the Office of University Assessment (OUA) at Florida A&M University (FAMU). The assessment program at FAMU aims to promote a culture of continuous improvement. It is an integral component of the university’s commitment to sustaining and enhancing academic quality and student experiences. The mission of the OUA is to promote a culture of evidence at FAMU through the implementation of a manageable and sustainable assessment process that leads to quality program and service improvement. The OUA achieves this mission by providing support to all academic programs and administrative and educational support units through building capacity for best practices in assessment and continuous quality improvement.
The assessment activities permeate all levels of the university and target four primary areas: entry-level knowledge and skills, general education outcomes, program/divisional outcomes, and students, graduates and alumni satisfaction. These efforts span multiple institutional levels - from university-wide assessments to assessments conducted by individual academic programs and administrative and educational support service units. The Office of Academic Affairs has established the Institutional level Assessment Committee (ILAC) to guide and monitor the assessment efforts and to make recommendations for improving programs and services.
