Exhibit Q:
Proposed Timeline and Milestones Associated with Graduate Program
Effectiveness Research
|
 |
Designed to assess progress toward the campus's dual objectives of expanding
the number of graduate students while enhancing quality, the Associate Dean
of Graduate Studies has set out what the WASC Steering Committee believes is
a realistic three-year agenda of improved graduate educational effectiveness
assessment and institutional research. These analyses will address
three aspects of the graduate experience: the outreach, recruitment, and
admissions process; the quality of the graduate experience; and jobs and
careers.
