Abstract	This article details the advantages and challenges of implementing writing assessment in a degree completion program; it describes the steps involved in the writing assessment process. Study results demonstrate that graduates from a degree completion program generally have adequate writing skills; nevertheless, many could improve their understanding of the discipline (content mastery) and critical thinking skills. The article concludes with lessons learned about how to improve the assessment process and curriculum, highlighting general implications that are relevant to other continuing education programs considering the use of writing portfolios. (Contains 2 tables.) (As Provided).
