In 1991, coordinators and directors of assessment from a number of Missouri's higher education institutions came together and formed the Missouri Assessment Consortium (MAC) for the purpose of exchanging ideas among themselves. In 1992, the MAC issued a statement listing eight "Principles for Assessment in Missouri's Public Institutions of Higher Education." These principles emphasized the need to develop assessment programs that would lead to increased student learning and improved programs, and which also would assure the public that their moneys are being spent wisely. This MAC web page will try to keep you posted and up to date on the purposes, goals, and progress of Assessment issues for Missouri's Public & Private two- and four-year institutions of higher education.
