Accreditation Assurance-of-Learning — Program-Level AoL for AACSB & ABET

Assurance of Learning (AoL) is the part of accreditation that proves, with evidence, that a program delivers the learning it promises. It is a distinct workload from designing a single course: it operates at the degree-program level, ties program learning outcomes (PLOs) to the curriculum through a mapping matrix, gathers direct and indirect assessment evidence against those outcomes, and writes the closing-the-loop narrative showing the program changed something in response to the data.

This skill scaffolds that documentation for the two accreditors AlterLab faculty most often face — AACSB (business) and ABET (engineering & computing) — in each accreditor's own structure. It drafts text and checks the shape of an outcome-mapping matrix; the school still files its self-study through the accreditor's own portal.
