Co-curricular Assessment
About Co-curricular Assessment
Co-curricular programs are educational experiences designed to complement the formal curriculum in support of Kalamazoo College’s mission. At K, these experiential education programs are encouraged to adopt and assess student learning outcomes that align with the College’s institutional learning outcomes (ILOs).
Institutional Learning Outcomes
In order to cultivate cross-institutional consistency and coherence, departments and units are encouraged to identify how their learning outcomes might align with and support the broader institutional learning outcomes.
ILOs enable graduates to:
- Communicate effectively
- Address complex problems
- Collaborate successfully
- Demonstrate intercultural competency
Assessment Reporting
After review and feedback from the Institutional Assessment Committee (IAC), these reports are archived in a format accessible to all members of the K campus community.
Departments and units can submit their assessment report with this online form.
These reports are typically 1-3 pages in length plus any supporting attachments.
