Program List

This list represents the various functions of the UMD campus that contribute to student learning.   If your unit/function is not on this list, but you have objectives that contribute directly to student learning, contact Jackie Millslagle to request to be added.  Other units or functions that are considered to be more service oriented, without impact on student learning that could be measured, are encouraged to take advantage of this process to develop a program evaluation plan.  Let me know if you will be submitting a Program Evaluation Plan. 

Program may represent an academic degree program, or a function of student life and development that delivers programming that contributes to student learning.   

Outcomes define specifically what students will know or be able to do as a result of participating in the program.  The outcomes will be measured to determine program effectiveness.Programs may be affiliated with accreditation bodies that use other terms for outcomes; e.g., objectives, standards or goals for student learning.  Programs may use terms most meaningful to the faculty and staff in the program as long as the outcome/objective/goal can be measured.

Mapping will visually represent program components and how each contributes to the outcomes.  For example, multiple required courses in an academic program may teach to a specific program outcome.  Or, multiple activities in an ASSL unit may contribute to one more program outcomes. 

The Assessment Plan will detail how outcomes will be measured, the target results for a given assessment, the cycle for administration of the measures, and the method or process for feeding results back into the program. 

Annual reports will focus on the assessments administered in any given year.
