Annual Assessment of Program Learning Outcomes

Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) represent the knowledge, skills, and abilities students have attained because of their involvement in a particular set of educational and learning experiences. By developing educational experiences based on what students should be able to do with their knowledge, the learning outcomes approach helps faculty, staff, and students understand the point of the educational activity, be it a program or course.

Learning outcomes are developed at the institutional, program, and course levels. Program Learning Outcomes are approved when new programs are sent through the state (Frameworks) and college (Curriculum) committees. Once approved, they are posted on the College website and assessed on an annual basis, with results being reported annually. All Learning outcomes can be found at www.pbsc.edu/LearningOutcomes
