History

Assessment has been a key focus for undergraduate education at NC State University since the early 1990s. The Office of Assessment in the Division of Academic and Student Affairs (DASA) supported and coordinated the assessment and program review of undergraduate academic programs and student affairs units from 2011 until 2019. In January 2020 assessment of undergraduate academic programs moved to the Office of Assessment and Accreditation (under the Provost’s Office) and the Office of Assessment was reorganized into DASA Assessment. DASA Assessment’s core activities are described below.
