The Liberal Arts Division has done an incredible job in AY 2015-2016 planning initiatives that will move our division forward. The focus of 2016-2017 will be implementing these initiatives and assessing their effectiveness. This will also be the first year many of our departments will have "transfer paths" that serve as a program for incoming students. Assessment continues to be a focus, as departments will assess additional program learning outcomes indicated on their curriculum maps. Additionally, a few programs within the division are up for a program review.
