Assessment

Office of Assessment and Institutional Research conducts various surveys to obtain the opinions of various bodies serving Nicholls. The surveys are used to improve the institutional effectiveness, provide accurate information to the university administrators and faculty and support university's mission.

Assessment primarily focuses on understanding and improving student learning. Student learning outcomes enable the assessment process to be effective by measuring the department's goals, student's performance, expected outcomes (results) and the actual outcomes (results). Click here for
