The Collegiate Learning Assessment (CLA) is a national initiative that uses a value-added model to examine a college or university’s contribution to student learning. The CLA relies on the institution, rather than the individual student, as the primary unit of analysis. The CLA measures are designed to test for critical thinking, analytic reasoning, problem solving, and written communication skills. The assessment consists of open-ended questions, is administered to students online, and controls for incoming academic ability. Institutional results are not published.
The CLA was first launched in 2000 by the Council for Aid to Education (CAE), a national nonprofit organization based in New York City. CAE also is the nation's sole source of empirical data on private giving to education, through the annual Voluntary Support of Education (VSE) survey and its Data Miner interactive database.
