The HU School of Business follows a comprehensive and multi-faceted assurance of learning process in accordance with AACSB standards. All degree programs are assessed by direct measures on the “Business School Core Competencies” and respective “program learning goals” created by Department faculty. Assessment questions are created by faculty and distributed by the Office of the Associate Dean to seniors at the end of their matriculation. The Office of the Associate Dean then reports the data to the Department faculty, who will review and identify any improvement strategies based on the desired target. After implementation, and alongside any surveys determined necessary to any stakeholders, the Office of the Associate Dean will again send the original assessment questions to seniors at the end of their matriculation. Occurring on a staggered, 5-year cycle, this plan “closes the loop” in the year-to-year continuous improvement but also closes the larger “loop” by assessing across the 4-year matriculation cycle.
