| Abstract | Whether by state mandate, institutional initiative, or the requirements of accrediting bodies, community colleges and other institutions of higher education are giving increased attention to assessment and evaluation. In the region accredited by the Middle States Association (MSA) of Colleges and Schools, for example, several community colleges have implemented novel approaches to institutional evaluation. Genesee Community College (New York) and Middlesex County College (New Jersey) have adopted a cyclical program/service review process, using outside evaluators appointed by the MSA in consultation with the institution. Nassau Community College's (New York) review model focuses on the outcomes of the teaching/learning process, recognizing faculty as the key managers and practitioners of program review. Delaware County Community College (Pennsylvania) was one of the original participants in the American College Testing Program's College Outcomes Measures Project, and continues to use and improve this assessment model to evaluate student outcomes. Monroe Community College (New York) has developed a practical and readable fact book, which documents collegewide outcomes related to the fulfillment of specific goals and objectives. Dundalk Community College (Maryland) is currently undertaking a "Study of Learning Excellence" as a substitute for traditional accreditation self-study and evaluation processes. As a final example, New Jersey's community colleges use a state-mandated multidimensional program of outcomes assessment. Though community colleges are making progress in the assessment process, they must continue to develop their research capacity and adopt appropriate strategies for the assessment of student outcomes and institutional effectiveness.
