Generally , the outcomes assessment involves two days of proctored exams and are structured to test the student's knowledge in four major areas of Theology:
- Biblical
- Systematic
- Moral and,
- Historical Theology
Occasionally, an individual professor may require something other than the proctored exam, e.g. an oral comprehensive. Such departures from normal practice must be cleared with the chairperson in advance.
If students fail the outcomes assessment, then they are permitted to take a written or oral re-take in the area in which they failed. There is no absolute limit on the amount of re-takes a student must have, but the student is generally only allowed one re-take in the semester the outcomes assessment is originally taken. The Department will analyze these examinations for its Programmatic Review.
