Assessment of Student Learning Colorado Mesa University is committed to providing quality education for students across all disciplines through a supportive learning environment. Assessment of student learning is a process used by program faculty to measure student progress in the knowledge and skills necessary to be successful after graduation. All students will participate in the process by engaging in assessment activities through submitting course assignments, taking examinations, completing surveys or writing standardized tests. Evidence collected through assessment assists faculty in program improvement at the certificate, undergraduate and graduate level.

Student learning at CMU is centered on specialized knowledge and applied learning in the discipline as well as the intellectual skills of communication fluency, quantitative fluency and critical thinking. Part of assessment also involves student learning at the co-curricular level in areas such as student life or service learning. Students will be expected to participate in assessment and provide honest feedback for evaluation. Data gathered will be evaluated in aggregate form and reported to respective members of the CMU community as well as accreditation organizations. Assessment is a key element to improve teaching and learning, and to enhance the quality of programs at the University. ACCOUNTING

The major in mathematics with a concentration in secondary education will prepare students to teach in both middle schools and in high schools. While completing this degree, students develop problem-solving and critical thinking skills and are introduced to the logical and historical development of mathematical ideas. Students also learn the professional skills in teaching methods and content necessary for secondary mathematics teachers. Nationally recommended curriculum guidelines are followed in order to ensure that graduates have the mathematical content and conceptual understanding necessary for all high school mathematics courses. Graduates from this program are in demand both locally and statewide with the scarcity of mathematics teachers.

With a major in mathematics with a concentration in statistics, students develop problem-solving, logical and critical thinking skills.
