Major-Specific Courses are to be assessed during AY that begin with odd numbers (e.g., Fall 2025 - Spring 2026).
Your contribution and dedication have played a pivotal role in the CSB's remarkable achievement of securing accreditation for an additional five years. This accomplishment sets the stage for our next on-site Continuous Improvement Review (CIR) on February 7, 2027.To facilitate your engagement in the assessment process, we've curated a selection of menu items that offer direct access to vital information, essential resources, and necessary forms. We encourage you to contribute your course or program assessments through these channels.
CSB Assessment Schedule
The CSB's overarching assessment strategy is designed with a biennial collection cycle at its core. This cycle alternates between assessing five learning outcomes derived from the Core Business Knowledge (CBK) courses during even-numbered academic years and evaluating major-specific learning outcomes during odd-numbered academic years.CSB Assessment Schedule
- Major-Specific Courses: Assessment is conducted in academic years starting with odd numbers (e.g., Fall 2025 - Spring 2026).
- CBK Courses: Assessment takes place in academic years starting with even numbers (e.g., Fall 2026 - Spring 2027). You are invited to select two sections of designated CBK courses for assessment.
- Grad Programs: Graduate programs follow a two-year assessment cycle
CSB Assessment Reporting Process
CSB Assessment Reporting Process
CBK Courses: Faculty teaching CBK courses during the designated assessment cycle complete and submit this form along with the relevant course data. The Accreditation Director compile and analyze the results to generate a comprehensive CBK report. This report is reviewed by the CSB Committee, and subsequently forwarded to the Undergraduate Curriculum Board, Faculty Assembly, and finally the University Assessment Committee for institutional review.
Major-Specific Courses: Each department responsible for a major prepares its own assessment report based on the major-specific courses designated for that cycle. These departmental reports are submitted to the CSB Assessment Committee for review, followed by review by the Undergraduate Curriculum Board, Faculty Assembly, and the University Assessment Committee.
Graduate Programs and Certificates: Each graduate program chair or director prepares an assessment report for their program, based on the graduate-level or certificate courses designated for assessment in the designated cycle. These reports are first reviewed by the CSB Assessment Committee, and then forwarded to the Graduate Curriculum Board, Faculty Assembly, and finally the University Assessment Committee for review and archiving.
SLU Expectations:
SLU Expectations:
Assessment plans: Each degree and certificate program should have an assessment plan that is regularly reviewed and updated by the program faculty using the most recent assessment plan template (available here). SLU post all assessment plans on this website.
Assessment reports: Each degree and certificate program should submit an assessment report annually; this report should be completed using the assessment report template (available here) and should reflect the most recent year of assessment. We post the 3 most recent reports on the website (see the section below).
Assessment report feedback: The University Assessment Committee, with representatives from each school/college, is responsible for reviewing assessment reports and providing feedback to programs; the expectation is that programs will use this feedback to improve or enhance their assessment plans, processes, and reports.
Each school and college can determine the date by which they submit their reports, but it should be no later than the fall following the year the report covers. Our school due date is Oct 30th.
