Notes on Assessment (MS-ACCT):

• For the purposes of Assurance-of-Learning Assessment, the MS in Accounting program has healthy enrollments, but requires collection of data over multiple semesters to ensure sufficient data for thorough analysis.  
• Where assessment of MS in Accounting students involves sections including students enrolled in other graduate programs (MBA, MSIS, MSBA, etc.) the data is filtered to include only MS-Accounting students.
