Program Goals: Develop, revise, refine program goals in terms of expected learning outcomes
Program goals are broad statements of what students are expected to learn or achieve by completing the program. Defining program goals provides a focus to the course of study and clarifies the types of student performances that will be assessed.
- The articulation of program goals should be stated in terms of expected learning outcomes. Middle States defines learning outcomes as "clearly articulated written statements, expressed in observable terms, of key learning outcomes: the knowledge, skills and competencies that students are expected to exhibit upon successful completion of a course, academic program, cocurricular program, or general education requirement."
- The interrelationship between institutional, program-level and course-level outcomes should be evident.
- Statements of program outcomes should be available to current and prospective students (e.g., on program websites, in admissions brouchures). Current students will be expected to be familiar with these outcomes.
