Pueblo Community College is committed to our students’ success, and assessment is a critical part of our strategy to continuously improve student learning and ensure that PCC students are fully equipped with the valuable skills and knowledge they will need to be successful in their future endeavors.

 Assessment of Student Learning is a comprehensive initiative to evaluate student learning across the college with respect to particular goals and outcomes that we value and desire for our students, with the ultimate aim of strengthening our programs by offering students plentiful and varied opportunities to develop, reinforce, and master those competencies throughout their studies at PCC.

The process of assessment is ongoing and cyclical, following these core steps:

Assessment Cycle: Step 1. Establish and align goals for student learning across the college, within programs, and for each course.Step 2. Assess how well students are learning and achieving these goals.Step 3. Interpret assessment results to identify gaps in learning.Step 4. Develop and implement changes to improve instruction, curriculum, and support services to fill these gaps.

Successful and meaningful Assessment of Student Learning is collaborative and faculty-driven, requiring the participation of all who are interested in the quality of the educational experience we offer at Pueblo Community College, including students, faculty, administrators, and community partners.
