Accreditation Standards
Assurance of Learning Standards
Goals
at the Program Level
Learning
goals can be established at different levels in the educational process.
At the course or single-topic level, faculty members normally have very
detailed learning goals.
These standards do not focus on such detailed learning goals.
AACSB
accreditation is directed at program-level learning goals of a more general
nature. These
goals will state the broad educational expectations for each degree program.
These goals specify the intellectual and behavioral competencies a
program is intended to instill.
In defining these goals, the faculty members clarify how they intend for
graduates to be different as a result of their completion of the program.
By developing operational definitions of the goals and assessing student
performance, the school measures its level of success at accomplishing the
goals. Normally, four to ten learning goals will be specified for each degree
program.
