Institutional Learning Outcomes

Bay Path University Institutional Learning Outcomes

Certain shared learning objectives, called Institutional Learning Outcomes (ILOs), underpin every Bay Path University program. The outcomes listed below serve as a learning framework for all curricular experiences across degree levels at Bay Path University. The ILOs additionally serve as a measurement standard by which Bay Path University can evaluate the effectiveness of our academic programs. Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) and Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs), listed under each degree program in the Catalog, align with one or more of the Institutional Learning Outcomes. Skills and abilities related to the Undergraduate Core Curriculum, which also align with the ILOs, can be found in the Catalog under Core Curriculum.

For questions about these ILOs, how they relate to student learning, or how they are used for assessment, please contact your advisor or the Office of Academic Affairs at acadaffairs@baypath.edu.
