摘要

The perfect storm for changing the higher education assessment environment has been brewing for several years. Pressure from the federal government, accrediting bodies, and employers has recently coalesced with concerns expressed by parents and taxpayers about the value of a college education. All constituencies are demanding greater accountability and transparency on the part of colleges and universities, including proof that students who earn an undergraduate degree are prepared for the workplace or to earn an advanced degree. This paper will review the major forces that led to a new climate of assessment in higher education, some of the instruments commonly used to assess undergraduate student learning and growth, and the programs through which results are communicated to prospective students, their parents, lawmakers, and other constituents. The impact of increased emphasis on assessment on academic libraries and the role those libraries can play in institutional assessment activities will also be discussed.
