CAS Assessment Grants

Depending on the availability of funds, College A&S offers assessment improvement and learning grants. These grants are available for A&S faculty to support assessment projects that promote improvements in teaching, learning, program delivery, and curricular enhancements that advance student success. Call for applications normally takes place in Spring semesters. Please find the application attached here. Applications can be used for either General Education or Academic Program assessment (Undergraduate/Graduate Degree). Applications are due by April 18th,  2025 and should be emailed directly to assessmentas@unm.edu.

For funded applications, a report should be submitted in the Spring semester following the date of the award to assessmentas@unm.edu that 1) demonstrates the completed work and (2) presents the preliminary assessment of student learning based on the completed work.
