Although the Office of Assessment, Evaluation & Accreditation (OAEA) helps assess a broad spectrum of CNU’s services and outcomes, our primary assessment focus is student learning outcomes - the learning that occurs as a result of the CNU experience. We provide university-wide support for assessment of student learning, planning, and continuous improvement activities at the course, program, and institutional levels.

We serve in a consulting role to faculty and administrators to enhance all stages of the assessment process from writing objectives to implementing results. The OAEA supports data-driven decision making for quality improvement, and we enable our stakeholders to ascertain the degree to which CNU’s mission and strategic plan are being accomplished.
