Part 2: Program Summary

Provide a high level review of the program to include highlights, successes, challenges, significant changes, and significant resources needed to support the program
The Social Justice certificate program showed growth over the last year through an increase in graduate awards, with the target hit for the first time. One challenge with highlighting too much about this program is that it is largely embedded in the American Studies program.

      Interpretation of Assessment findings
      The primary take away from the assessment findings is that roughly two thirds of students tested at proficient in Problem Setting and Evidence Acquisition, but those numbers dropped into the 50th percentiles for Evidence Evaluation and Reasoning/Conclusion. While all of these numbers show a majority of students passing, the results do suggest the latter two skills are weaker areas that will likely require more attention moving forward. It should also be noted that the CHSS Assessment Team (CAT) has made changes to the prompt and will be assessing critical thinking again in Spring 2022 to align with the Assessment Academy's focus on Thinking in Action.
