Purpose: The committee's purpose is to continually improve the quality of students' education and their higher education experience by focusing on annual programmatic and core curriculum assessment. The committee will discuss issues related to assessment of academic programs, support units, and the THECB's Core Learning Objectives, with a focus on use of the data for continuous improvement. Members will share best practices regarding annual programmatic assessment and meta-assessment processes and collaborate on new ideas to improve assessment practices at SHSU.

The Senior Vice President or Vice President of each division will nominate one Associate or Assistant Vice President to serve a two-year term. The Deputy to the President will nominate a representative for non-division units that report directly to the Office of the President (e.g., Athletics) to serve a two-year term.
