Institutional Assessment

"Assessment an Institutional Affair"

BLOOMFIELD COLLEGE’s assessment methods include the systematic gathering, review, and use of data, including direct and indirect evidence from multiple sources. Data analysis informs institutional knowledge about student characteristics; what students know and are able to do; and the impact of academic programs, administrative units, and external programs on student learning. Monitoring and assessment of the assessment process ensures that programs and units use assessment to sustain a culture of renewal and continuous improvement — aimed at the Institution’s collective capacity to foster student success and progress.
