Program Level Outcomes guide each of our programs. These are set by our accreditation standards and include what we expect students to learn by the end of their program. Each of our courses also include specific Learning Objectives which are more specific then the Program Level Outcomes and are descriptions of what students will be able to do at the end of the course. The Assessments in a course are the tasks that provide feedback on students' knowledge and skill. Assessments evaluate the students’ success in obtaining the course learning objectives. Instructional Activities are the contexts and activities that foster students’ active engagement.
