When 

The overall assessment model for the CSB is constructed around an alternating-year collection cycle. Major-specific learning goals (LGs) are assessed in academic years beginning with odd numbers (e.g., FL23-SP24). 

Assessment is conducted in two sections of each course by two different faculty. The findings from these assessments are then reported to a designated representative within the corresponding department. 

Assessment at the CSB follows a structured, multi-stage workflow aligned with AACSB and Higher Learning Commission (HLC) standards. Faculty submit standardized assessment data via digital forms. Each academic program is responsible for compiling its own assessment report, which is then submitted to the Assessment Committee for initial review and feedback.

Following committee review, reports proceed to the appropriate governance body—either the Undergraduate Board or Graduate Board—for further evaluation. After incorporating any recommendations, reports are presented to the Faculty Assembly for final endorsement. Once approved, the finalized reports are submitted to the Provost's Office, ensuring a transparent, evidence-based process that supports continuous improvement across all programs.

Reporting

The School of Business has five broad program learning goals (PLGs). 

• Knowledge essential for business practice: Students will understand essential business concepts and how the various functional areas of business are related

• Values consistent with Jesuit ideals: Students will demonstrate knowledge of ethical concepts and corporate social responsibility and be able to evaluate business problems for multiple ethical perspectives

• Analysis and decision-making: Students will be able to identify and structure business problems and propose actionable solutions to business

• Communication/Writing: Students will demonstrate effective written communication

• Global perspective: Students will understand how cultures, politics, laws, ethics, and economies influence and impact business and use tools and concepts to analyze and formulate an international business strategy

Each course has five course-specific learning objectives (LOs) 

You can use multiple choice questions (see Table 1), short answer questions,  writing assignments, presentations, and/or other types of artifacts (see Table 2) to assess the course LOs mapped to PLGs. Tables 1 and 2 shows how to report the outcomes.
