Alignment of Outcomes
▪ The University Mission Statement
The Bachelor of Music program is designed in accordance with NASM accreditation standards and
requirements in order to prepare students for professional success and provide them the tools to make
learning a life long process. The program makes a significant contribution to the cultural enrichment of the
region. Faculty are devoted to a student centered curriculum and all teaching classrooms have state of the art
equipment in keeping with the university mission statement.
▪ The University Strategic Plan 2013
The strategic plan calls for new educational partnerships, improved course delivery and further enrichment of
the educational, cultural and social life of the region. The plan expresses the desire to meet and/or exceed the
Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education’s target retention and graduation rates for Cameron University.
This presentation will address efforts to improve course delivery.
▪ Department Mission
It is the department’s main goal to enrich and improve the instruction of our students. Any modifications or
changes in curriculum are all geared to improved student retention and learning.

Report on Actions from the Three Previous
Chosen Priority Outcomes
1. Offer Music Fundamentals as a regular class offering along with an online
component during the Spring and Summer semesters.
▪ the “brick and mortar” Music Fundamentals course was more successful than the
online only version (as seen in both higher enrollment and pass rates) – the course is
also now offered in the fall semester (first 8 weeks) as well
2. Increase efficiency of testing incoming Freshmen for deficiencies (including idea of
using a permission code for Theory I course).
▪ this was not fully implemented (in part due to the changeover to Banner); however
each student who auditioned for scholarship was tested in theory for proper
placement
3. Discuss possibility of identifying funds and/or provide service awards for upper level
students to tutor at-risk students.
▪ although we were not able to identify any additional funds this past year, faculty
teaching theory courses increased their availability for individual student mentoring

Report on Actions from the Three Previous
Chosen Priority Outcomes
4. Offer music notation seminar at a slightly later time in the Fall semester to create a
higher enrollment number and offer more opportunities for success.
▪ a workshop on Finale was offered again this September [2010]; Dr. Hoepfner’s
teaching load precludes him offering multiple workshops later in the semester,
however this year’s workshop was offered slightly later
5. Maintain appropriate computer software upgrades for coursework.
▪ new editions of both Finale and Sibelius music notation software were installed last
year and are meeting the needs of our students

Action Plan
1. Begin immediately to track assessment records of incoming freshmen in all courses
(pre- and post-tests) and to follow their progress (via assessment post-tests)
through their entire course of study. This should provide invaluable data
concerning the correlation between current assessment tools and
graduation/retention rates (and help to assess the reliability/validity of these
tools).
2. Being to administer the ETS Major Field Test for music to provide validity for our
assessment data through comparison with comparable programs nationwide
3. Begin to rate and track anonymous faculty assessment of departmental recitals
(including piano majors performing as accompanists). The data will be collected
after each recital.
4. Improve the advising of students with regard to the Finale workshop in the fall
semester (and consider adding the workshop sometime in the spring semester as
well)
5. Discuss possibility of locating funds and/or provide service awards to allow upper
level students to tutor at-risk students (student activity funds?)
6. Seeks fund for the purchase of new and repair of existing department instruments
(capital funds)
