Assessment Resources

Program Review is a process that serves Whittier College students and the Whittier College community by helping ensure the meaning, quality and integrity of the degree.

It combines multiple years of student learning outcomes and assessment, your global analysis of your curriculum and program, and external peer review. 

At Whittier, program review and self-studies address meaning, quality and integrity here.
