Program Assessment Plans

Wayne State College is a comprehensive institution of higher education dedicated to freedom of inquiry, excellence in teaching and learning, and regional service and development.

To assure that students who graduate from Wayne State College have completed a major that prepares them for a meaningful career and life-long learning, each program of study has established student learning outcomes, which include direct and indirect assessments. Departments annually evaluate their students’ performance in achieving those outcomes as part of the college’s overall commitment to student success and continuous improvement.

The college also monitors the success of its graduates through student surveys. The most recent data shows that 97% of our graduates are employed or are attending graduate school. The links below make it possible to look at each department’s outcomes.
