Program Assessment Summary/Recommendation
	Meets all standards and requirements	X	Not all standards and requirements are met	X	Insufficient documentation for program review
	Approval	X	Approval Pending		Approval Suspended
Standards/Requirements Not Met: The institution has outlined how requirements for major/minor meet the five broad test objectives. They do not, however, indicate how they meet individual sub-areas of each of those objectives. This needs to be done before program can be fully reviewed. The institution should also keep in mind that all objectives and sub-areas must be met by required courses and/or experiences.
Additional information needed/action to be taken: The institution indicates that all faculty have Ph.D.’s but do not indicate in which area the degree is held. Please provide this information. If test-taker data is available for those who have completed the Sociology major/minor as revised in 2001-2002, it should be included to allow reviewers to see if revisions to program requirements have improved test scores. Please explain how candidates learn multiple methods of student assessment with application to the sociology classes they will be teaching. (Section 2.f.)
Comments: The institution does an excellent job with regard to Section 9. Methods for Instruction, and reviewers found the submission to, generally, be well-written and clearly explained.
