Program Goals & Outcomes
The two questions that faculty in programs must answer are the same that they address when identifying learning goals for their courses:
- What do I want students to know?
- What do I want them to be able to do when they graduate with a degree in this field?
Program learning goals help faculty plan the curriculum, assess coherence and sequencing, and evaluate the learning of majors. In addition, they signal the program’s disciplinary identity and provide a common language that students, faculty, and staff share. This common language can facilitate communication and build bridges among various program services for students, such as advising and instruction.
Use of learning goals helps departments think about curriculum. When learning goals are defined, programs can determine the courses that address each goal.
