Campus goals for undergraduate learners
These goals (also called objectives) were adopted by the Academic Senate in April 2002 to:
- articulate what we aspire for student learning;
- help to establish campus priorities and guide decision making related to student development; and
- guide academic programs in the review of how their classes and course requirements interact with the goals to demonstrate educational effectiveness.
