Program Outcomes Achievement Test (POCAT)
A key aspect of the BS CSE program is a comprehensive set of processes and tools to assess the program and to use the results of the assessments to evaluate various aspects of the program and identify and implement improvements in the program. To assist with this, prior to graduation, BS CSE, BS CIS and BA CIS majors are required to complete the exit test, POCAT. Students will receive emails in their final semester with instructions on how to register for the POCAT.
Exit Survey
The exit survey is part of a careful assessment and feedback activity that BS CSE students are required to take. Starting in 2014-2015, BS CIS and BA CIS majors will also be asked to complete an exit survey. Students will be instructed to take this survey during their final semester while completing the POCAT.
