In 1998 Florida College began utilizing the Collegiate Assessment of Academic Proficiency Test (CAAP), developed by the American College Testing Service, to obtain outcome measures with which to document effectiveness in achieving its general education student learning objectives. Florida College established as one of its benchmarks that students on average should score at or above the national average on all four areas of the CAAP (Mathematics, Writing, Reading, and Critical Thinking).
The CAAP exam was discontinued prior to the 2017-2018 year. Beginning in 2018-2019, Florida College began utilizing the ETS Proficiency Profile Exam (ETSPPE) to assess academic proficiency.
The results of the CAAP and ETSPPE indicate that students consistently score better than the national average.
