WSCUC has designated five competencies in which all undergraduate students should be proficient when they graduate with a BA or BS degree. These competencies are oral communication, written communication, critical thinking, quantitative reasoning, and information literacy.
CSUB assesses the WSCUC Core Competencies through AIMS assessment efforts, as they comprise the first five of the AIMS Program Learning Outcomes. These assessment efforts are led by the General Education Assessment Coordinator, who leads teams of faculty from across the university teaching in the AIMS program to develop and implement assessment plans, evaluate student work, and suggest improvements for teaching and learning practices. The General Education Curriculum Committee (GECCo), consisting of eight faculty members, two representing each of the four Schools, implements changes to the General Education curriculum based upon assessment findings.
Information on AIMS assessment efforts for each year is available here.
