FY 2008 Annual Report of Achievements - Gallaudet University

majors, minors, and general elective courses are in the process of being aligned with both the
Gallaudet University Student Learning Outcomes and applicable individual program learning
outcomes. Thus, the entire undergraduate curriculum is being redesigned to be explicitly and
intentionally outcomes-based, with systematic outcomes assessment. The ongoing efforts to
establish a sustainable culture of outcomes assessment across all academic programs and academic
support services will enable the faculty, staff, and administrators to continuously monitor program
quality and initiate improvements as necessary.
Other recent initiatives include the introduction of capstone courses, internship requirements,
and the integration of service learning in more academic programs—all intended to better prepare
Gallaudet students for employment after graduation, graduate studies, and lifelong learning.
