Northeastern State University

Assessment Requirements

NSU has developed a four part assessment program in conjunction with the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education’s requirements and expectations of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. All freshmen students scoring below 19 on individual ACT sub-tests in English, Math, Reading, and Science must complete a placement exam before enrolling in classes in these areas. New students will also be asked to participate in a Freshman Survey and Freshman Inventory. Mid-level general education assessment will occur after students complete between 45-70 hours at NSU. Near the end of the student’s plan of study, outcomes assessment of the major will occur. Students will be asked to complete a Senior Survey before graduation and may periodically receive an Alumni Survey as part of the assessment plan.
