(Many include general education outcomes)

Association for General and Liberal Studies:  Improving Learning in General Education: An AGLS Guide to Assessment and Program Review
The  AGLS Guide invites institutions to review their commitments to the principles of a student-centered, outcomes-and-assessment approach to general and liberal education. It includes a set of continuous-quality-improvement questions that center on fundamental issues such as the connection between mission and general and liberal learning, asking users to consider how they actualize, judge, and improve their programs.  More information is available on the AGLS website
