Collegiate Assessment of Academic Proficiency (CAAP) and The Measure of Academic Proficiency and Progress (MAPP)
Since students taking the CAAP will be required to sit for one 40-minute module, the Committee and VPAA chose to administer the College Student Experience Questionnaire to the students when they finish the test. This dual administration will help with equity of students' time commitments: the MAPP is two hours long.
Who takes it?
Students when they 75 credit hours. Half of the students take three
modules of the CAAP test and the remaining half take the MAPP.
When is it
administered?
Either in the fall or spring semester at specially arranged times by the
Assessment and Testing Office.
How long does it take
for the student to complete the test?
2 hours.
What office
administers it?
The Assessment and Testing Office, Violette Hall 1130.
Who originates the
tests?
The CAAP comes from ACT and the Academic Profile from ETS.
When are the results
typically available?
For the individual student and the student’s advisor, results are available
near the end of the semester the test is taken. University reports for
the fiscal year are typically available in late June.
What type of
information is sought?
Information about the skills used in the liberal arts based general
education curriculum.
The CAAP provides measurement in five areas: writing, mathematics,
reading, critical thinking, and science. The MAPP tests students in
all of these areas: natural science, social science, mathematics,
humanities, reading, writing, and critical thinking.
