Office of Assessment

"... the systematic collection, review, and use of information about educational programs undertaken for the purpose of improving student learning development." - T. Marchese, 1987

Kutztown University is committed to evaluating the effectiveness of all of the university's work. The primary role of the Office of Assessment is to partner with members of the campus community to facilitate the assessment process, and in doing so, contribute to Kutztown University's mission of providing high-quality undergraduate and graduate education that prepares students to meet the lifelong intellectual, ethical, social, and career challenges.

Broadly speaking, assessment at Kutztown University occurs at three levels:

• Academic Program Assessment
• General Education Assessment
• Institutional Effectiveness Assessment

Important Dates:

• Mid-year assessment updates due to Deans: February 17, 2023
• 2022-2023 Academic Assessment Reports due to Deans: September 29, 2023

The Office of Assessment is under the direction of Karen Rauch, Associate Provost Accreditation & Assessment.
