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
Coursework in the Liberal Arts degree prepares students to draw connections across content areas, think critically and adapt to a variety of problems, and communicate solutions effectively to diverse audiences. As a stand-alone degree, students will gain and reinforce these skills, but as a general education transfer this degree provides students with maximum flexibility in terms of transfer to a four-year program. The program continues to see a decrease in graduates, which is reflective of decreased enrollment college wide. However, Liberal Arts courses and faculty continue to offer new and innovative course offerings and modalities to meet diverse student needs, such as Attend Anywhere and Fusion.

Part 4: Program Learning Outcome Analysis

Learning Outcome	Population or Course(s) Assessed	Description	Summary of Assessment Results
1. Critical Analysis	ENGL 1110, ALA 2999

Interpretation of Assessment findings
The Absence of assessment processes in this discipline offer a unique opportunity to rethink assessment practices. The coming cycle’s assessment activities will focus on preparation for the transition to the Assessment Academy model in fall 2023. With the help of the Senior Director of Assessment, faculty in these programs will engage in facilitated activities and conversations designed to address faculty understanding and perceptions of the role of assessment in effective teaching and learning. Planned activities, including an Introduction to Assessment workshop and discipline-specific guided conversations, will (re)introduce concepts of informed teaching and prompt faculty to begin considering what they want to know about their teaching, student success, and the curriculum.
