General Education Assessment

2022 - 2024 Cycle

Update Fall 2023:  We are concluding the first year of EKU's two year General Education cycle.  Alongside your course-level assessment efforts is the launch of EKU's Experience Excellence plan, which has precipitated a refreshed approach to the EKU strategic planning and assessment process.  Please see the updates below about how this inproved approach affects the General Education assessment process. 

• The General Education course assessment process will continue to have a two-year cycle. 
• 2022-2023 was the Data Collection Year.  All GE courses were required to administer an integreated GE/QEP assessment activity during either Fall 2022 or Spring 2023 for data analysis and interpretation.
• Please keep your data files on hand and available for fall. The data files will NOT be collected in between assessment reports.
• A revised assessment and reporting form has been created - STAR for GE Courses - to use for Spring 2024 submissions. 
• The Academic Planning and Assessment (APAC) committee is actively seeking new members to provide peer reviews for STAR reports, including General Education assessment reports.
