Assurance of Learning (AOL)

This website provides information about the College of Business & Economics’ Assurance of Learning (AOL) system. Our AOL system consists of how our two undergraduate and four graduate degree programs are evaluated for student proficiencies of learning outcomes. Intertwined with AOL is curriculum management. Curricula are impacted in various ways through assessment and review of assessment results, which drive action items aimed at continuous improvement.

This website has been developed for multiple audiences, such as faculty, administrators, and students. See below for the examples of questions each audience might ask and where they might find the answers in the suggested sections indicated in parentheses.
