Page – 11 -The management of SBT places a high premium on on-going self-assessment to monitor therigor, quality, and effectiveness of each of its academic programs. With the on-going self-assessment, SBT not only assesses the results of program outcomes but also continuouslyevaluates its “assessment process” to establish a systematic and sustained assessmentapproach and create an assessment environment that is receptive, supportive and enabling.Bibliography1.

that the department’s quest to slay theHydra—fully infusing the program with the BOK2 outcomes—could not be accomplished byselectively tweaking courses. Rather, as this paper discusses, a complete review of every aspectof the program was necessary, including the educational objectives, the program outcomes, andthe objectives for each required course. Ultimately, it was a two-year process of programassessment, evaluation and modification to fully implement the BOK2.I. IntroductionA.
