General Education assessment at the University is based on the premise that academic success at the University requires demonstration of successful general education learning outcomes. General Education goals for the University are in-line with those mandated by the Louisiana Board of Regents. Specifically, those goals are:

  • to communicate effectively in oral and written English;
  • to read with comprehension;
  • to reason abstractly and think critically;
  • to understand numerical data and statistics;
  • to understand the scientific method;
  • to be familiar with key technological and informational applications;
  • to learn independently;
  • to recognize and appreciate cultural diversity;
    to understand the nature and value of the fine and performing arts;
  • to develop a personal value system while retaining a tolerance for others; and
  • to understand the American political and economic system.

Assessment of the learning outcomes for these goals is accomplished through an English Proficiency Exam, a Curricula Effectiveness Survey and the ACT CAAP Exam.
