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.
