Conclusion
• ILO: Students will successfully acquire program
outcomes and complete degrees and/or certificates.
This institutional outcome indicates if the objectives
stated for degrees and/or certificates are being met.
Students earning degrees will acquire the College’s
general education outcomes: Effective
Communication, Critical Thinking, and
Global/Cultural Context.
• There is evidence of successful attainment of
program outcomes and general education outcomes.
Conclusion
• Students do not always earn declared degrees or
certificates for many reasons
▫ Declared degree/cert may not be accurate
▫ Employment opportunity may present itself
▫ Value of degree/certificate may be unclear
What next?
• In what ways do we have room for
improvement?
• What can we do to help students?
