AC-2: Learning Outcomes

Institutional Learning outcome 2: Personal, professional, and social responsibility CSUMB graduates demonstrate ethical reasoning, global awareness, and civic and intercultural engagement in ways that promote sustainability, and social justice and equity across diverse communities. ILO2 currently applies to all graduating students. The process of updating ILOs is underway and the Institutional Learning Outcomes will be divided into Graduate Learning Outcomes, Undergraduate Learning Outcomes and Co-Curricular Learning Outcomes. Future STARS reports will likely reflect this change, pending Academic Senate approval.

All programs are covered by ILO 2 and therefore program level information is redundant. However, some programs go above and beyond and a sample of the college or program level Learning Outcomes are listed here for reference. 1.

This data is carried over from the previous 2016 report. Any changes would have been minor. A full review will be completed for the next STARS report The number of students listed as graduating (as well as student graduating from a program that has a Sustainability Learning Outcome) does not include graduate degrees.
