Assessment Report Templates

All undergraduate academic programs at Montana State University are required to submit a program assessment report annually for undergraduate programs, and biennially for graduate programs. See Graduate Assessment Cycle below.

Programs that are externally accredited do not need to submit an annual or biennial MSU assessment report, but should still be collecting appropriate data for their external accreditors as well as for their 7-year Program Reviews.

Annual, Biennial, and Year 0 Assessment Planning Reports are due on October 15th every year.

Please submit Assessment Reports to programassessment@montana.edu.

The templates below are designed to guide you in the program assessment process and include detailed instructions.  The Assessment and Outcomes Committee (AOC) will provide feedback on the assessment report based on best practices using a specially-designed Rubric.

Departmental Webpages:

Units should maintain a webpage with program assessment information including the assessment plan and annual assessment reports. Please see the Sample Program Assessment Report Webpage for reference.
