Public demandsfor accountability in higher education have led to the development and use of multiple measures to evaluate student outcomes in a variety of disciplines. Home economics programs are among those involved in these initiatives. As the discipline movesforward in the face of declining enrollments and program elimination, assessment will be a valuable and necessary toolfor identifying methods to improve program effectiveness. This article reviews the various assessment initiatives practiced by institutions of higher education, provides examples that may be adopted by home economics programs, and also offers recommendations for establishing a unit‐based assessment program
