Differences
among Schools
Because
of differences in mission, faculty expectations, student body composition, and
other factors, schools vary greatly in how they express their learning goals.
Definition of the learning goals is a key element in how the school
defines itself. Thus, care should be exercised in establishing goals and in
the regular review and revision of the learning goals and measurement of their
accomplishment.
Even
if schools choose similar domains of learning goals, they are likely to develop
the goals in different ways. There
is no intention in the AACSB accreditation process that schools should have the
same definitions of learning goals, or that they should assess accomplishment of
learning goals in the same way. To
the contrary, the standards expect faculty members of each school to determine
the proper definitions and measurements for their situation.
