Student learning outcomes and program results.
Accredited business programs must routinely provide reliable information to the public on their performance, including student achievement. Included below are our student learning outcome assessments results, as well as our program results.
Student Learning Outcome Assessment Results: Students demonstrate their attainment of the student learning outcomes through successfully passing proctored, summative course assessments. Each course has assessments that ensure students demonstrate their attainment of the required course competencies. To give an example of WGU’s system of assessment results, DJO1 Assessment Trends provides learning outcome results for each of the competencies required in the course C711 Introduction to Business (a course that was required of all baccalaureate students during the periods highlighted). The assessment that students take is entitled DJO1 Introduction to Business.
Program Assessment Results provides the assessment results by program for the three most recent 6-month terms.
