Communication Teacher, v36 n1 p54-66 2022
Assessment has become increasingly integral to college and university accreditation. While formal assessment has become more of a responsibility for instructors as related to their individual classes and assignments, program assessment is also at the center of these conversations. However, few guidelines and resources are being shared with regard to the formal assessment of program learning outcomes. Here, we detail a step-by-step process for conducting a formal assessment of a communication studies program. Specifically, we share our procedures, findings, and implications related to assessment of one communication studies program.
