Abstract
A representative sample of 305 four-year postsecondary schools, ranging from regional colleges to national universities, was surveyed to determine the extent of assessment of the psychology major. We found that only a minority of psychology departments are doing such assessment. Regional schools seem more often engaged in assessment than national schools. Assessment strategies usually mean exit exam scores and sometimes exit interviews or senior theses. References are provided to assist departments planning assessment programs.Keywords
