THE CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF TESTING,
EVALUATION AND EDUCATIONAL POLICY

   The Center for the Study of Testing, Evaluation and
 Educational Policy (CSTEEP) at Boston College was
 established in 1980 to meet the measurement, research, and
 evaluation needs of local educational agencies as well as
 those of government agencies, private foundations, and
 private corporations. The aim of the Center is to advance
 the study of educational testing, evaluation and policy so
 as to improve both the quality and fairness of education.
 Boston College and its School of Education have made a
 strong commitment to CSTEEP both by housing it on the B.C.
 campus and by providing it with a substantial budget for
 proposal development and related costs. CSTEEP provides a
 variety of testing, consulting, optical scanning and data
 analysis services to Boston College faculty and staff.
 Additionally, the Center regularly administers various
 national admissions tests.
