DirectionsComplete the Outcomes Assessment Results form below. Note: Section II of the form (OperationalAssessment) needs to be completed only if you received first-time accreditation or reaffirmation ofaccreditation after January 1, 2011.An example of a completed form can be found in a separate document that is available for download onthe IACBE’s website at: www.iacbe.org/accreditation-documents.asp.Section I (Student Learning Assessment) of the Outcomes Assessment Results form must be completedfor each business program that is accredited by the IACBE (i.e., a separate table must be provided foreach program).Add tables, and insert or delete rows in the tables as needed in order to accommodate the number ofyour (i) business programs, (ii) intended student learning outcomes, and (iii) intended operationaloutcomes. In the sections of the assessment results tables entitled “Summary of Achievement ofIntended Student Learning Outcomes” and “Summary of Achievement of Intended OperationalOutcomes,” DO NOT ADD OR DELETE COLUMNS. Space is provided in these sections for four directmeasures of student learning, four indirect measures of student learning, and eight operationalassessment measures/methods. If you are employing fewer than this number of assessmentinstruments, simply leave cells in the unused columns blank. If you are employing more than thisnumber of instruments, you will need to create additional summary-of-achievement tables to reportyour assessment information.In the sections of the assessment results tables entitled “Summary of Achievement of Intended StudentLearning Outcomes” and “Summary of Achievement of Intended Operational Outcomes,” enter “Met” ina given cell of the table if the performance target for the instrument in that column was achieved for theintended outcome in that row; “Not Met” if the performance target for the instrument in that columnwas not achieved for the intended outcome in that row; or “NA” (Not Assessed) if the instrument inthat column does not measure the intended outcome in that row.At the bottom of each assessment results table, space is provided to identify changes and improvementsthat you plan to make as a result of your assessment activity.Italicized entries in the form represent areas where the academic business unit should insert its ownassessment information.Please be sure to delete these directions before submitting your form to the IACBE.ii
Outcomes Assessment ResultsFor Academic Year:2015-2016Section I: Student Learning AssessmentStudent Learning Assessment for: Associate of Science, AccountingProgram Intended Student Learning Outcomes (Program ISLOs)1. Graduates will demonstrate technical accounting skills in intermediate-level accounting topics/concepts.2. Graduates will demonstrate the ability to research and analyze specific intermediate-level accounting issues.3. Graduates will demonstrate oral and written communication skills.4. Graduates will demonstrate the ability to research and analyze specific federal income tax issues related to the taxation of individuals.Assessment Instruments for Intended Student Learning Outcomes—Direct Measures of Student Learning:Exam scores in both ACCT 310, Intermediate Accounting I and ACCT 320,Intermediate Accounting II.ACCT 320: Intermediate Accounting II – “U.S. GAAP vs. IFRS Research andPresentation” assignment.ACCCT 390: Federal Income Taxation I – “Tax Research Memo # 4”assignment.Assessment Instruments for Intended Student Learning Outcomes—Indirect Measures of Student Learning:Performance Objectives (Targets/Criteria) for Direct Measures:In 70% or above instances for each criterion, students scored at or aboveeither the 70% mark (“Acceptable”) or 80% mark (“Proficient”).In 70% or above instances for each criterion, students scored at or aboveeither the 70% mark (“Acceptable”) or 80% mark (“Proficient”).In 70% or above instances for each criterion, students scored at or aboveeither the 70% mark (“Acceptable”) or 80% mark (“Proficient”).Performance Objectives (Targets/Criteria) for Indirect Measures:1. Graduating Student SurveyAt least 90% of graduating students in the school of business in which themajor in Accounting is reported will be satisfied with the content of theircurriculum and at least 90% of graduating students in the school ofbusiness in which the major in Accounting is reported will be satisfiedwith their major program courses.2. Student End of Course SurveyThe average percentages of course recommend and faculty recommendfor the Accounting program would be 80% or higher.1
3. Faculty Post-Course InterviewsFaculty consensus on all four criteria is above average (i.e., coursequality, relevance, innovation and consistency.Learning Assessment Results: Associate of Science, AccountingSummary of Results from Implementing Direct Measures of Student Learning:1. Outcome 1: There were six (6) AS in Accounting students in ACCT 310 and nine (9) AS in Accounting students in ACCT 320 in the 2015-2016academic year identified. The limited AS student in Accounting makes it statistically difficult to develop definitive conclusions about measures ofstudent learning. Additionally, some AS students transferred in one or more of the accounting courses required for the degree. Acknowledgingthese limitations, in ACCT 310, in Test 1, Test 2, Test 3 and Test 4, 79, 87%, 82% and 86%, respectively, met the “Acceptable” or “Proficient”criterion. In ACCT 320, in Test 1, Test 2, Test 3 and Test 4, 72%, 69%, 75% and 77%, respectively, met the “Acceptable” or “Proficient” criterion.Thus, during this time period, the limited pool of AS students did meet the “Acceptable” or “Proficient” in 70% or above instances for each criterionregarding exam scores except for ACCT 320 exam 2.2. Outcomes 2 and 3: There were nine (9) AS in Accounting students in the 2015-2016 academic year identified. The limited AS student inAccounting makes it statistically difficult to develop definitive conclusions about measures of student learning. Additionally, some AS studentstransferred in one or more of the accounting courses required for the degree. However, during the AY 2015-2016 assessment period, the student’saverage grade was 93%, representing Proficient on the criterion of the “US GAAP vs. IFRS Research & Presentation” assignment. The scoredemonstrates that the students have the ability to research and analyze specific intermediate-level accounting issues and demonstrates proficientoral and written communication skills.3. Outcomes 3 and 4: There were nine (9) AS in Accounting students in the 2015-2016 academic year identified. The limited AS student inAccounting makes it statistically difficult to develop definitive conclusions about measures of student learning. Additionally, some AS studentstransferred in one or more of the accounting courses required for the degree. However, during the AY 2015-2016 assessment period, the student’saverage grade was 94%, representing Proficient on the criterion of the “Tax Research Memo # 4” assignment. The score demonstrates that thestudents have the ability to research and analyze specific federal income tax issues and demonstrates proficient oral and written communicationskills.Summary of Results from Implementing Indirect Measures of Student Learning:1. Graduating Student Survey: Response to satisfaction with “Content of Curriculum” question on Graduating Student Survey for Winter Term 2016was 42% “Very Satisfied”, 50% “Somewhat Satisfied”,and 8% “Somewhat Dissatisfied”. : Response to satisfaction with “Major Program Courses”question on Graduating Student Survey for Winter Term 2016 was 67% “Very Satisfied”, 25% “Somewhat Satisfied” and 8% “SomewhatDissatisfied”.2. Student End of Course Survey: The average percentage of recommend accounting course for AY 2015-2016 was 89.6% and the averagepercentage of recommend accounting faculty was 90.9% for AY 2015-2016. This is an increase of 3.4% and 3.7% respectively.2
3. Faculty post-course interviews: Ongoing feedback obtained at the end of each term and during the annual faculty meeting indicates that thefaculty consensus on all four assessment criteria with respect to the course quality, relevance, innovation and consistency was Acceptable orProficient for not only each course, but also for the accounting program overall.Summary of Achievement of Intended Student Learning Outcomes:Intended Student Learning OutcomesProgram ISLOs1.Graduates will demonstrate technicalaccounting skills in intermediate-levelaccounting topics/concepts.Learning Assessment MeasuresDirectMeasure 1:Exam Scoresin ACCT 310and 320DirectMeasure 2:“US GAAP vsIFRSResearch andPresentation”DirectMeasure 3:“TaxResearchMemo #4”PerformanceTarget Was PerformanceTarget Was PerformanceTarget Was IndirectMeasure 2:Student Endof CourseSurveyIndirectMeasure 3:Faculty PostCourseInterviewsIndirectMeasure 4PerformanceTarget Was PerformanceTarget Was PerformanceTarget Was PerformanceTarget Was PerformanceTarget Was MetMetMetMetMetMetMetMetMetMetMetMetMetMetMet2.

The aggregate scores of the overall undergraduate Business Administration Program course evaluations showed a& 91.9% recommend by students and the instructor evaluations for this academic year reflected a 93% recommend3. by students. Although segmenting these by the significantly lower number of associate degree students was notfeasible, the total results reflected very favorably upon recommendations by associate degree only students.X4. The Business Administration Advisory Board met once during this academic year in May to review changes to theprogram curriculum and formulate recommendations on program improvements. The meeting focused on makingthe BSAD program more transfer friendly in order to increase enrollment in the program. The AS and BS AdvisoryBoard is the same.X5. The AS faculty and the Business Administration (BSAD) Adjunct Faculty are combined and met via phoneconference this academic year. Main topic was number of sections offered and staffing. Additionally, a number ofindividual meetings and phone meetings were held throughout the academic year.XProposed Courses of Action for Improvement in Areas for which Performance Targets Were Not Met:1.Learning Improvement: Please identify how learning has improved upon the implementation of action items from previous years5
Students in the AS program are doing well and the outcomes are being met. Given the success of these students we are working on strategies tomove more students into the BSAD program.6

Assessment Instruments for Intended Student Learning Outcomes—Indirect Measures of Student Learning:1. ISLOs # 1, 2, 3, and 4: Graduating Student Reflection Survey (to beembedded in ACCT 495).Performance Objectives (Targets/Criteria) for Indirect Measures:Using the Reflection Survey, students will rate to what extent they thinkthis program has prepared them to meet the learning outcomes, basedon ratings of Below, At, or Above expectations. For each LearningOutcome, at least 80% of students’ responses will meet or exceed the “AtExpectations” or “Above Expectations” mark.Learning Assessment Results: Associate of Science (AS) – Forensic AccountingSummary of Results from Implementing Direct Measures of Student Learning:1. ISLO # 1: There was one (1) AS in Forensic Accounting student in AY 2015-2016 reflected in ACCT 310, Intermediate Accounting I. The student’saverage score for the four exams in ACCT 310 was 70% (Acceptable). Having one or no students makes it statistically impossible to developdefinitive conclusions about measures of student learning. Addisionally, some AS students transferred in one or more of the accounting coursesrequired for the degree.2. ISLO # 2: There was one (1) AS in Forensic Accounting student in AY 2015-2016 reflected in ACCT 320, Intermediate Accounting II. The student’saverage score for the four exams in ACCT 320 was 67.3% (Unacceptable). Having one or no students makes it statistically impossible to developdefinitive conclusions about measures of student learning. Addisionally, some AS students transferred in one or more of the accounting coursesrequired for the degree.3. ISLO # 3 & 4: There were two (2) AS in Forensic Accounting students in AY 2015-2016 reflected in ACCT 341, Fraud Examination. Only 1 studentcompleted the criterion assignment, receiving a score of 100%, or Proficient. Having only two students makes it statistically impossible to developdefinite conclusions about measures of student learning.11
