Learning Outcomes Assessment
The purpose of learning outcomes assessment at Hamline University is to
ensure that our mission and values are realized in what our graduating students
know, value, and can do.
As charged by Hamline’s Strategic Plan for 2007-2012, all academic and
student affairs programs are working to “adopt and assess university-wide student learning outcomes in
order to improve student learning and advance a distinctively Hamline
experience” (Strategic Objective 2.2).
To ensure that these remain the goals of learning assessment at Hamline,
members of the Committee on Learning
Outcomes Assessment (CLOA) the Deans’ Council, and the Provost's Office jointly drafted and adopted the Statement on the Purposes of Learning Outcomes
Assessment and Its Relationship to the Evaluation of Faculty, Staff or
Programs.
