Video instructions that accompany these written instructions are available under the Module 3 Watch Items.

Overview

Any school website or catalog, should include both the learning outcomes and a degree completion plan for a given degree.

Degree completion plans typically include the courses required for any degree program along with any other important information (see the provided example at the end.)

I. Program Learning Outcomes

The following portions of your required reading should be helpful in conceptualizing your Program Learning Outcomes.

a. Yount (chapter 12)
b. Diamond (part 2)
