Abstract
This article describes a multimethod assessment of psychology student outcomes. Nineteen goals and objectives for psychology majors were identified. Attainment of these goals was measured by a multiple-choice test, senior and alumni surveys, a capstone course, and nonintrusive methods. I describe changes in the psychology program that were prompted by the assessment results.Keywords
