IU Southeast regularly reviews the effectiveness of its academic programs to determine what changes may be needed to enhance student learning opportunities. These activities include systematic assessment of student learning in the major and in general education. Students may be asked to take part in activities such as taking standardized exams, preparing portfolios of their work, or engaging in special projects as part of this assessment effort. In addition, each academic program undergoes a review by external evaluators approximately every 7 years. Students may be asked to meet with the evaluators to discuss the quality of their academic experiences as part of these external reviews.
