56% of AAC&U member institutions assess learning outcomes across the curriculum in departments. This is up from 42% in 2008. 77% assess outcomes in all or most departments, while 16% do so in a few or no departments. Assessment of cumulative learning outcomes in general education has also increased, from 52% in 2008 to 67% in 2015. Institutions most commonly use rubrics applied to student work and culminating projects to assess general education outcomes. Use of rubrics has increased while use of standardized tests has decreased. When using AAC&U VALUE rubrics, critical thinking and written communication rubrics are used most often by institutions to assess general education student learning outcomes.
