Assessment
The University of Tulsa demonstrates, through its ongoing assessment initiatives, a commitment to educational achievement and improvement of student learning. Institutional and program level methods focus on student attainment of The University of Tulsa mission. Institutional learning outcomes are measured at the college, program, and course level.
The annual assessment of student learning process is a faculty-driven initiative that measures attainment of program learning outcomes for undergraduate, graduate, and professional degree programs and certificates. The Annual Program Assessment Report provides evidence that The University of Tulsa is satisfying its mission using information gained each academic year to evaluate the achievement of student learning and program improvements. The review process also provides faculty with information to guide programmatic and curriculum changes.
The Academic Program Review evaluates undergraduate and graduate academic programs to record and demonstrate achievement of program outcomes, student learning, retention, and degree completion. Programs are reviewed every seven years with a one- year follow-up. The requirement is met through an internal faculty-driven academic review process along with a selected external reviewer. Academic program reviews provide a mechanism for faculty and administration to evaluate academic quality, effectiveness, and status of an academic program on a continuing basis through the feedback loop.
The University of Tulsa institutional assessment initiative uses direct and indirect assessments of students’ abilities to measure the accomplishment of learning objectives. The following methods give feedback of student performance at multiple levels and in various ways across the curriculum:
- The Tulsa Curriculum assessment process evaluates student achievement of the Tulsa Curriculum Outcomes in quad and core courses through foundational and comprehensive course assignments using a common Course Assessment Report. The Tulsa Curriculum is a University framework developed by faculty to advance broad knowledge and intellectual concepts, which the University believes every college student should acquire.
- Contributions that advance the students’ educational learning experience are evaluated through the co-curricular and student services assessment process.
Results of these activities are analyzed for trends and evidence of student learning and proficiency. Results are compared to national cohorts. Student confidentiality is maintained by removing identifiers from artifacts prior to analyzing data and presenting results to stakeholders. Collectively, these assessment activities provide the institution with a comprehensive picture of what is working well for students and faculty and areas where opportunities for continuous student learning improvement exist.
