Welcome from the Executive Director

Since 1988, the Center for Assessment and Research Studies (CARS) at James Madison University has been a national leader in advancing meaningful assessment in higher education. Our mission is simple: to use research and assessment to improve student learning and support educational quality at JMU and beyond. 

We work closely with JMU faculty and staff, while also offering tailored consulting and professional development for institutions across the country. Whether you're here to explore our graduate programs, engage with upcoming events, or learn more about our impact, we’re glad you’re here. 

We invite you to explore our work and connect with our team.
