Office of University Assessment
Mountain State University (MSU) is committed to improving the services we offer to our stakeholders by developing and measuring the quality of student learning outcomes through assessment. Assessment remains an essential activity that provides vital information on how best to honor the University's commitments. Our approach to assessing both academic programs and administrative support departments evaluates not only what MSU students learn, but also the structures within our University that foster their learning.
The Office of University Assessment strives to support MSU's assessment efforts by being proactive in promoting a culture that values assessment and evidence-based decision making for continuous quality improvement.
