Curriculum Design and Assessment

A successful, high-quality academic degree program requires degree program faculty members to demonstrate a shared vision of their curricular goals and to ensure that their curricular structures and assessment processes assist students in achieving the stated learning outcomes. Accordingly, the 2012 Annual Assessment Reporting Policy:

• articulates expectations for curriculum and assessment required of all degree plans offered at Northern Arizona University; and
• establishes requirements for annual curriculum and assessment reporting and periodic programmatic review (conducted through Academic Program Review or Discipline-Specific Accreditation).

During the 2018 – 2019 academic year, the Faculty Senate Curriculum and Assessment Coordinating Committee will update the 2012 Annual Assessment Reporting Policy to align with the Degree Program Expectations for Curriculum and Assessment approved in May, 2014. This effort is expected to result in the implementation of a new comprehensive Northern Arizona University Curriculum Design and Assessment University Policy.
