Office of Assessment & Curriculum (OAC)

Assessment is a continuous cycle of self-evaluation and self-reflection and its purpose is to transform and enhance the quality of learning, instruction, curriculum, and institutional effectiveness. The Office and Assessment and Curriculum aims to effectively capture the college’s faculty, staff, and administrators’ commitment to student success by assessing program improvement for all Certificates, Associates, Bachelors and Master Programs, as well as General Education courses.
