Scripps College is committed to a culture of evidence-based decision making, informed in part by a regular cycle of curricular and co-curricular assessment and departmental reviews. Please see the Institutional Student Learning Outcome (ISLO) assessment steps to see the process we follow to assess institutional student learning outcomes.
The ISLOs were developed from the mission of Scripps College and discussed and endorsed by senior staff on February 11, 2013, by the faculty at their faculty meeting on February 14, 2013, and by the Educational Policy Committee of the Board of Trustees at its meeting on March 8, 2013.
