Educational Approach

OUR APPROACH TO STUDENT LEARNING

The goals and outcomes below outline the operating framework of our subdivision and align with the Council for the Advancement of Standards in Higher Education (CAS).  They will be used to measure the effectiveness of programs in fostering student learning and development. These are connected to the Cal Poly Diversity Learning Objectives (DLOs) to streamline the learning connection between academic affairs and student affairs.
