Abstract
Assessments of higher education in America have traditionally focused on the academic aspects of the college experience. This article considers outcomes associated with student development as a result of enrollment in two general education leisure studies classes. A theoretical framework (Chickering & Reisser, 1993) provided a systematic context for assessing student development. Seven vectors of change were addressed: developing competence, managing emotions, moving through autonomy toward interdependence, developing mature interpersonal relationships, establishing identity, developing purpose, and developing integrity.
