Student Learning Outcomes

Student Learning Outcomes are measurable expectations that are formed from the model of the Institutional Educational Objectives, formed by core commitments from the University's strategic plan and institutional values of purpose, service, and leadership.

Learning outcomes are measured at various points during the educational experience, such as at graduation and post-graduation, in order to measure the impact of the educational environment. A culture of assessment enhances the ability to meet the changing needs of students and helps the University effectively plan and allocate resources for the school's programs.
