As part of the University's on-going accreditation through the Higher Learning Commission (HLC), South Dakota State University has identified assessment of student learning as its Quality Initiative (QI). The QI is an important component of the institutional improvement process in the Open Pathway.
Due to the focus on the assessment of student learning, SDSU applied and was accepted to the HLC Assessment Academy.
