Office of Assessment
The purpose of academic assessment is to enhance Rowan University’s capacity to improve every student’s knowledge, skills and abilities. In addition to academic assessment, the University engages in assessment of its facilities, services, and administration. Together, these assessment efforts help Rowan University determine how well it is fulfilling its mission and make informed decisions about how best to use resources. Assessment is the process of collecting and using reliable information as a basis for program improvement. At Rowan University, we systematically measure the extent to which we are achieving desired student learning outcomes and institutional effectiveness targets.
