VALUE Rubrics

Bloomsburg University Office of Assessment and Planning uses the VALUE rubrics, developed by the Association of American Colleges and Universities for their Valid Assessment of Learning in Undergraduate Education (VALUE) project, to track student learning objectives and program level objectives. The purpose of Bloomsburg University's using the VALUE rubrics is to allow the University to track student learning objectives across programs and units while providing freedom in adapting and interpreting the language of the rubrics.
