University Assessment Review Committee (UARC)

The University Assessment Review Committee (UARC) supports Idaho State University’s commitment to continuous improvement in student learning. The committee ensures that academic programs undergo regular, systematic reviews aligned with institutional goals, State Board’s policies, and accreditation standards.

The committee, composed of faculty and administrators, advises programs on developing meaningful assessment practices. This support enables data-informed improvements. It helps faculty reflect on program strengths, identify areas for growth, and implement changes that enhance curriculum delivery and strengthen student learning outcomes.

By fostering a shared understanding of assessment’s role in improving education, the committee ensures that the university’s practices support an equitable and inclusive learning environment for all students.
