College of Education & Professional Studies Office of Academic Assessment

---

The Office of Academic Assessment leads the College of Education and Professional Studies' assessment and accreditation efforts. The CEPS assessment system must strategically and effectively address a wide spectrum of standards, including the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP), the State of Alabama, American Psychological Association (APA), the Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP), the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), and the mission of the University of South Alabama.

Mission Statement

Collaborating closely with CEPS faculty, administrators, and staff, as well as with USA campus partners, the Office designs, develops, and implements innovative methodologies for assessment of student learning. Resulting data are central to the process of continuously improving faculty teaching and student learning. Students are defined as those whom the College serves directly, P-12 students served by educational institutions, and others who engage in teaching and learning in our community and region.
