Program Outcomes
Every academic program has student learning outcomes, what students know, are, or can do upon completion of the major or program.
Course Goals
Course Goals are course-level student learning outcomes. They are statements of what students know, are, or can do by the end of a specific course. Whether or not students meet the Course Goals should be able to be measured quantitively or qualitatively. Course goals should inform one or more Program Learning Outcome and Undergraduate Learning Outcome and/or General Education Learning Outcome as applicable.
