ASSESSMENT OF BUSINESS PROGRAMS: A REVIEW OF TWO MODELS

Nathan Garrett, Joan Marques and Satinder Dhiman

Business Education and Accreditation, 2012, vol. 4, issue 2, 17-25

Abstract: This article presents two contrasting assessment programs implemented at a small School of Business in the Los Angeles area. The program for the undergraduate degree, which includes four majors, relies upon tight coordination and a centralized assessment group, while the graduate program, an MBA, relies upon individual courses as the key building blocks of the assessment program. This article shows ways in which pre- and post-tests, nationally normed instruments, longitudinal tracking, and cross-sectional analysis can be used to demonstrate effective assessment of learning in each program. Lastly, the article concludes by discussing ways to continually continuously improve a curriculum.
