Academic Assessment and Program Review

Welcome to the Office of Academic Assessment and Program Review

Welcome to the Office of Academic Assessment and Program Review (OAAPR) at California State University, Northridge. Our mission is to support continuous improvement in student learning by providing leadership and guidance on academic assessment practices across all programs and colleges. We work collaboratively with faculty, staff, and administrators to ensure that learning outcomes are aligned with institutional goals and that data-driven decisions are made to enhance the educational experience for all students.

Assessment/Evaluation and Program Review

Academic assessment and program review are two distinct processes that evaluate academic program quality and continuous improvement and are required to maintain CSUNs accreditation. Both processes are streamlined and led by the faculty to establish an action plan, informed in part by CSUNs assessment and institutional research data, external reviewer reports, and memorandums of understanding.
