General Education Outcomes Assessment

General Education Outcomes Assessment in Nuventive follows a structured process designed to support institutional goals and ensure consistency across departments. The General Education Committee sets the outcomes, and faculty assess student learning within designated General Education courses. 

 Tip:  Use the quadrennial summary to reflect on long-term trends and provide meaningful feedback to the General Education Committee.
