Institutional Learning Outcomes
Institutional Learning Outcomes at USD are the layering of USD’s core values, program-learning outcomes, and undergraduate and graduate learning outcomes. Student learning outcomes assessment is the most direct way to gauge student success in curricular and co-curricular programs. Assessment of these outcomes occurs at various points throughout a student’s program of study. To review the outcomes of USD's Core Curriculum, browse to the Core website.
