| Abstract:
Measures of success and prestige for higher education institutions have traditionally relied on indices such as scores of incoming students, reputation rankings, and amounts of funding. A new era of accountability has ushered in a focus on student learning and engagement in higher education. The Task Force on Undergraduate Education at Rutgers University recently developed and implemented a number of goals related to attracting and supporting high quality students, creating a welcoming community, and increasing faculty participation in undergraduate education. An evaluation of these changes is currently being conducted. This paper will present relevant research for conducting such an evaluation, information about evaluation methods, and general advice about evaluating institutional change in higher education settings, through the context of the Rutgers undergraduate education transformation evaluation.
