University Assessment Committee
The University Assessment Committee (UAC) is a university-level committee designed to foster communication between all colleges and schools and divisions that facilitate, and assess, student learning. The UAC works to promote an integrated culture of assessment, consistent with the Creighton mission. The committee is charged to coordinate assessment at the University level, represent all colleges and schools in articulating an integrative assessment program, provide feedback and assistance to programs, colleges, and schools, and generally advance efforts to enhance University support for assessment.
The UAC meets regularly throughout the academic year (meeting minutes are available here).

The UAC will provide leadership for the campus as we participate in the Higher Learning Commission's Academy for Assessment of Student Learning, a four-year focused effort on improving the quality and scope of assessment of student learning at Creighton. Admission to the Academy was based on a competitive review of applications from a variety of schools within the HLC's geographic region. As you will see from reading our application to the Academy, we will need help from all areas of the university. If you would like to participate in our assessment efforts, email or call Mary Ann Danielson (x2535).
