UMHB QEP Themes

Students, faculty, and staff had the opportunity to share ideas for a QEP which could improve learning outcomes. These ideas were collected via SurveyMonkey. The qualitative data was organized into the following seven themes. These themes represent 124 student (including 9 graduate students), 61 faculty, 41 staff, and 3 alumni responses.
