Assessment Policy

The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education and The Higher Learning Commission: A Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools requires accredited colleges and universities to conduct periodic assessments of their students for the purpose of monitoring and improving their educational programs.

All students at Southeastern are required to participate in a variety of assessment activities. Upon admission to Southeastern, basic skills testing is required in English, mathematics, reading, and science for placement purposes. Mid-level testing of freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors is conducted to assess general education skills in the areas of reading, writing, mathematics, and science and critical thinking. Exit-level assessment is conducted during the senior year in the major field. Assessments within the major may also be required at other times. In addition to the above activities, students are required to respond to surveys and submit samples of their work for portfolios.
