Assessment Plan

Ferris State University is committed to general education assessment. Only by gaining a fuller picture of the knowledge and skills of both entering and exiting students can we really understand what students need, what they learn, what they don't learn, and what we need to do to improve the general education learning opportunities at Ferris. General education assessment is above and beyond the regular classroom assessment performed by faculty in an attempt to adjust their teaching and curriculum to meet the needs of the students. Instead, general education assessment is concerned with the impact of the general education curriculum as a whole.
