Assessment Data
APU Global assessment data: annual undergraduate and graduate learning reports, comprehensive program reviews, and how findings improve courses.
Institutional data
APU Global is committed to a rigorous learning assessment process that includes both the annual review of two or more program learning outcomes (PLOs) for each academic program, reviewing all the PLOs for each program every three years; and a periodic comprehensive program review of all programs on a six-year cycle.
Reporting cycle
Annual Learning Reports
Annual Learning Reports are produced for each program once the program has been fully developed and all of the courses have been offered. These reports are produced by faculty and submitted to the Educational Effectiveness Committee (EEC) for review. The action plans identified in the report drive curriculum revisions for the next fiscal year. The following reports have been produced and approved by the EEC over the past several years.

How assessment findings are used
Assessment is only useful if it changes something. Program directors review learning outcome results each year and translate them into concrete revisions, rewritten assignments, added scaffolding in early courses, updated rubrics, and new faculty development. Comprehensive program reviews look further out, testing whether a degree still matches employer expectations and licensure requirements.
