Visits

WSCUC has designated five competencies in which all undergraduate students should be proficient when they graduate with a BA or BS degree. These competencies are written communication, critical thinking, oral communication, information literacy and quantitative reasoning. At California State University Fresno, the previous Director of Assessment, Dr. Melissa Jordine, and the newly appointed Director of Assessment, Dr. Douglas Fraleigh, have worked directly with the former Vice-Provost, Dr. Dennis Nef, and current Vice-Provost, Dr. Xuanning Fu, to plan and implement a comprehensive approach to assessing the core competencies.
