UMD planning and assessment processes promote effective design, implementation, evaluation, and improvement toward the achievement of various academic goals.
Assessment of Student Learning
UMD's system for student learning assessment involves data collection and analysis of educational experiences to improve student learning within undergraduate and graduate curricular programs, co-curricular programs, and the Liberal Education Program.
Program Development
Academic program development is strategic, integrative and ongoing, involving planning, implementation, and evaluation/monitoring. UMD users can access the planning tools and resources available online.
UMD's academic degree and non-degree program review procedures utilize self- and external peer-evaluation for continuous program improvement to promote excellence and to facilitate planning and development.
