General Education Assessment and Fulfilling the Mercy Mission at the University of Saint Joseph
Callahan, Kevin J.
Journal of Catholic Higher Education, v33 n1 p47-62 Win 2014
This article describes the processes and procedures the University of Saint Joseph used to conduct a systematic assessment of mission-related student-learning outcomes found in the General Education curriculum, and thus assess how well the institution was fulfilling its Mercy mission. The assessment showed student learning strengths and gaps and led to faculty development workshops and curricular revision.
