Office of Assessment for Curricular Effectiveness

Welcome to the Office of Assessment for Curricular Effectiveness (ACE). We work with Washington State University colleges and programs to assess student learning towards the improvement of undergraduate degree programs. ACE also provides learning outcomes assessment support for university-wide undergraduate education, serving all colleges, campuses, and UCORE general education. See What We Do for more information, including our mission.
