of Learning Goals
Learning goals serve two purposes.
First, learning goals convey to participants, faculty and students, the
educational outcomes toward which they are working.
This helps in setting priorities and emphasis, designing learning
experiences, and fulfilling educational expectations.
While the learning goals cannot be exhaustively stated for any higher
education program, it is possible to set educational targets and to assure that
the learning is progressing in the specified direction.
Second, educational goals assist potential students to choose programs
that fit their personal career goals. Only
with an accurate understanding of the learning goals will a potential student be
able to make an informed choice about whether to join the program.
