Administrative assessment is the systematic examination of a unit or division’s effectiveness in achieving its mission. Marymount University engages in ongoing, integrated, and institution-wide research-based planning and evaluation processes that result in continuous improvement in institutional quality and demonstrate that we are effectively accomplishing our teaching, research, and service mission. Administrative assessment is one of Marymount\u2019s three formal evaluation and assessment mechanisms.<\/p>\n
Student learning outcomes assessment, program review, and administrative assessment provide a comprehensive understanding of the University\u2019s effectiveness by reviewing, analyzing, and improving the entire educational experience.\u00a0 Administrative assessment focuses on the administrative, academic support, and community engagement services provided by the University.<\/p>\n
The goals of the assessment process are to identify strengths and weaknesses in the functioning of divisions and units and the services they provide and use that information to improve effectiveness and the Marymount experience for students and others.<\/p>\n

Administrative assessment results at Marymount are reported at the divisional level; however, most divisions require assessment reports from their units as input into that annual report. Marymount’s divisions are required to submit annual reports on the results of their assessment of administrative outcomes and the ways in which they have used those results to identify strategies for continuous improvement. These reports are evaluated by the\u00a0University Assessment Committee,\u00a0which provides feedback to programs on the effectiveness of their assessment processes and ways in which those processes might be strengthened.<\/p>\n
