Grand Canyon University has instituted a campus-wide, multi-level, effective assessment program. The University has fostered a culture of assessment and improvement by implementing a strategic planning process which has produced institutional goals and benchmarks against which institutional efficiency and effectiveness can be measured; by establishing a strong foundation for course, program, and institutional level assessment of student learning; and by formulating and implementing a process for assessment of undergraduate general education core skills and graduate mission domains and competencies.
The Office of Assessment is charged with
Assessment at GCU is ongoing, intentional, thorough, and applicable so that it will have the most significant possible impact on improvement of student learning and university functions and processes. The processes of assessment and improvement of learning and institutional effectiveness are reflective of the mission, pillars, guiding principles, and foundational statements of Grand Canyon University. The ultimate goal of this effort is to improve student learning and the total university experience by enhancing instructional effectiveness, removing obstacles to learning, facilitating student persistence toward completion of a degree or program, and demonstrating purposeful effort toward institutional effectiveness.
