The College measures the achievement of its mission and institutional effectiveness through the continuous review and development of its current and new curricula, the periodic assessment of student learning outcomes at all levels of study, and the evaluation of career outcomes through an ongoing examination of the College's record of producing graduates with highly marketable skills and demonstrated competency in mastering the academic curriculum.
