Assessment in departments and programs

Faculty and staff gather evidence of student learning in a wide array of academic programs at St. Olaf, such as majors, concentrations, conversations, experiential learning, and study abroad. Departments and programs use results both to affirm current practices and to identify potential areas for improvement in curriculum, pedagogy, advising, and other academic experiences.
