The EvaluateUR Method

The EvaluateUR Method enables colleges to evaluate programs and improve student outcomes by incorporating evaluation directly into undergraduate educational settings: independent research, course-based research, professional internships, and collegiate competitions.

Learn about the Method

The EvaluateUR Method measures student learning by providing statistically reliable assessments of student growth in a wide variety of outcome categories, including disciplinary and employability skills. It also serves as a tool for students, helping them build academic self-awareness and use it to improve their learning.
