Abstract The Accounting Education Change Commission (AECC) has encouraged institutions of higher learning to develop accounting curricula that stimulate active learning and inspire students to be creative, analytical thinkers. Implicit in the AECC charge is the need to assess and evaluate the effectiveness of curriculum changes and to demonstrate that the changes have had a positive influence on students' knowledge, attitudes, and skills. Successful assessment programs are the result of careful planning, development, and implementation. This paper 1) examines issues frequently faced when designing an assessment program, 2) discusses various types of student out-comes that may be measured, and 3) presents a matrix of potentially useful methods and techniques for assessing student outcomes. This matrix approach provides a framework that can be used to design individualized assessment programs that are based on a particular school's goals and resources.
