Beginning in the late 1980s, the CSU Academic Senate, Board of Trustees and Chancellor's Office stressed the importance of defining what CSU graduates should know and be able to do upon graduation. Ten years later, in May 1997, the CSU Division of Academic Affairs, Chancellor's Office pledged to carry out a multi-year plan to define and measure student learning outcomes for all baccalaureate degree programs.

Within this spirit of assessing student learning the All University Responsibility for Assessment (AURA) project has been charged with:
  • Collecting student learning outcomes for all baccalaureate programs, including the General Education Program;
  • Helping define what students need to know and/or be able to do upon graduation from each baccalaureate program including GE;
  • Helping people external to the campus determine what student learning outcomes are for each program; and
  • Taking campus leadership for ongoing campus-wide conversations on the nature of student learning assessment and its relationship to effective teaching, learning and advising.
