Assessment activities at Midland University offer evidence of academic achievement while also providing the University with invaluable data to help inform academic change. Collectively, this assess - ment data is used to help shape modifications in the curriculum, identity strengths, and set standards of excellence for all facets of the campus to strive towards. A continuing process, assessment looks at stu dent achievement within and across courses while also evaluating the attainment of cumulative learning outcomes via measurement of general education, major and co-curricular goals, and objectives. Midland’s assessment initiatives include direct measures of student learning, such as the ETS Proficiency Profile exam, Major Field Tests in particular programs, indirect measures of student learning including the IDEA course surveys conducted in each class, and other internal measures such as the data collected by the Writing Center and Academic Program Support.
