Developing Your Assessment Approach
Now that you understand the important differences between benchmarking and assessment, the guiding questions below can help your graduate faculty structure their initial conversations about the Graduate Learning Outcomes Assessment (GLOA) process. To facilitate these initial conversations, programs should consider their core learning competencies.

Getting Your GLOA Started
The Graduate Learning Outcomes Assessment (GLOA) Process begins with the faculty in a graduate program selecting at least one graduate learning outcome for assessment. The learning outcomes for graduate programs will vary. Below are examples of graduate student core learning competencies that programs can consider for their GLOA. Programs may also identify unique learning competencies. The graduate learning outcome that each program selects to assess will come from a single core competency.
Core Competencies (Examples)
Fellowships Requiring UMD Nomination
The fellowships listed below are limited submission fellowships, meaning a UMD nomination is required for the application.
Funding Application Resources
Tuition Assistance for Fellows
The Graduate School provides tuition assistance to graduate fellowship recipients who are paid from Dean’s Fellowship funds, Graduate School full-time fellowship funds, prestigious external fellowship funds, or by written agreement with the Graduate School. Tuition assistance is subject to continued availability of resources and will be provided only for credits that are degree applicable. Additional information is below.
