NYIT's Model for the Assessment of Student Learning in its Academic Programs is Designed According to the Following Principles:

• Program faculty are responsible for assessing the student learning outcomes of their program.
• Assessment activities should be useful, annual, and integrated as much as possible into what faculty are already doing.
• Faculty define the most important learning outcomes, set standards of performance, and measure achievement.
• Results are used to make program improvements.
• The Assessment Committee of the Academic Senate provides institutional oversight.
• The offices of the Provost and the Vice President for Planning and Assessment provide institutional support.
