Assessment Committee

A Commitment to Assessment

The Indiana University South Bend Assessment Committee grew from the University’s strong commitment to providing the best possible education for its students.

In 1995 the Assessment Committee developed an ambitious plan for implementing and monitoring assessment of student learning in all campus departments and for the Committee’s own activities and governance. This document, IU South Bend Plan for Assessing Student Achievement, was submitted to and approved by the NCA, the (then) accrediting body of IU South Bend.

The mission of the IU South Bend Assessment Committee is to promote, support and monitor academic program assessment activities at the university.
