Liberal Education and America's Promise

Evidence on Learning

One of the goals of the LEAP initiative is to provide evidence about how well today’s college students are achieving key liberal education outcomes. On this page, we present links to important studies that document national, regional, and/or state progress in helping student achieve the most important outcomes of college, as well as summary reports of these studies published by the LEAP initiative. Many colleges and universities involved in the initiative are also developing effective new ways to assess these key outcomes on their own campuses and in ways appropriate to their own missions. For resources designed to help campuses improve their assessment efforts, see AAC&U’s Assessment Resources page.
