Writing Program SLOs
Program Level Student Learning
Outcomes articulate what culminating knowledge, skills, abilities, or attitudes a
student has gained as a result of successfully completing all of the
courses in a program. All programs leading to a certificate or degree
need to have learning outcomes defined and assessed. Assessment results
are used as evidence to make any necessary changes to improve student
learning.
