The Office of Curriculum, Accreditation and Assessment (CAA)
provides assistance to colleges, departments, faculty, and other units of the University in the identification of appropriate information pertinent to measuring programmatic outcomes. 

CAA is responsible for the University's curricular and assessment activities. CAA also serves as NKU's Liaison to the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) and will take a leadership role in the University's 2009 reaffirmation.

During the last two decades, the effectiveness of the world of higher education institutions has been challenged by agents such as federal and state governments, educational foundations, the general public, students and their families, and faculty and administrators within the institution.  CAA serves faculty and staff to help defend against those challenges by consulting in the areas of curriculum, assessment analysis and program review and development.
