Assessment of Student Learning

Student learning outcomes are assessed in a variety of ways, and at multiple levels. Each course has specific outcomes-based learning objectives that students must meet to achieve passing grades. Doctoral students meet educational outcomes through a variety of means, including through the use of papers, presentations, observed clinical work, observed supervision, and so forth.

Outcomes are evaluated through the use of specific assessment tools designed to measure core competencies. AAMFT, in December of 2004, published Marriage and Family Therapy Core Competencies, and this program focuses on clinical, supervisory, teaching, and research competencies. Teaching will be evaluated through summative and formative teaching evaluations.
