JMU), the process of program assessment is vital to program success. We view assessment not as an examination or survey, but rather as an organizing process that helps our faculty develop a shared perspective on what our program should be accomplishing. It helps us connect our individual courses to create a coherent program. It provides continuous feedback as we use assessment findings to inform decisions about how to best implement our psychology major. In this chapter we describe the assessment process for the JMU psychology major and how the process has improved our program. Specifically, this chapter is organized around seven goals that guide our assessment efforts, and we share examples from various assessment projects that we have conducted to help illustrate each of these goals.
