As part of the assessment plan, all undergraduate students are required to complete certain assignments and take tests and surveys designed to measure achievement related to the general education and major program outcomes and other student learning. No minimum score or level of achievement is required on these tests and assignments for graduation. Assessment results will remain confidential and will be used for the sole purpose of improving the undergraduate programs. Failure to participate in these assessment activities may preclude the student’s right to register for future terms and/or receive the associate or baccalaureate degree. The administration will make all reasonable efforts to ensure that students have ample notice of and opportunities to take required assessments. In an effort to measure achievement related to general education and assess the quality of this program, students are required to complete skill-based assignments in each of the general education competencies (see below). Each of these completed assignments are evaluated and competency in each area is demonstrated as follows: Biblical worldview competency. Biblical worldview competency is demonstrated by the completion of skill-based assignments in GENE 100 and 202/402 resulting in a satisfactory assessment in competency rubric. Cultural foundations competency.
