Assurance of Learning (AOL)
This website provides information about the College of Business & Economics’ Assurance of Learning (AOL) system. Our AOL system consists of how our two undergraduate and four graduate degree programs are evaluated for student proficiencies of learning outcomes. Intertwined with AOL is curriculum management. Curricula are impacted in various ways through assessment and review of assessment results, which drive action items aimed at continuous improvement.
