Mid-Program Assessment
A student enrolled in an Administrative and Allied Health Professionals program will participate in a portfolio review and an assessment test upon completion of the foundation area courses. The Mid-Program Assessment will help to identify whether a student has learned and developed the basic skills needed to successfully complete the advanced courses and ultimately obtain employment.
