Indiana University Indianapolis
AC-2: Learning Outcomes

All undergraduate students who matriculate as degree-seeking students at IUPUI are required to complete the campus-wide General Education requirements which are framed by the IUPUI Profiles of Learning for Undergraduate Success (PLUS), a consistent framework of learning outcomes for programs and courses. Preparing students to communicate, innovate, solve problems, and contribute to local and global communities. There are four Profiles: Communicator, Problem Solver, Innovator, and Community Contributor. General Education coursework is divided into the broad domains of Foundational Intellectual Skills (Core Communication, Analytical Reasoning, and Cultural Understanding) and coursework that promotes Intellectual Breadth and Adaptiveness (Life and Physical Sciences, Arts and Humanities, and Social Sciences).

Foundational Intellectual Skills
• Analytical Reasoning (6 cr hrs)
• Core Communication skills (6 cr hrs)
• Cultural Understanding (3 cr hrs)

Intellectual Breadth and Adaptiveness
• Life and Physical Sciences (6 cr hrs)
• Arts and Humanities (at least 3 cr hrs)
• Social Sciences (at least 3 cr hrs)

Institution-wide learning outcomes that map to sustainability from the General Education course include the following:
• Under Life and Physical Sciences:
Learning Objective #2): demonstrate the ability to model and understand the physical and natural world
• Under Arts and Humanities:
Learning Objective #4): the ability to develop arguments, ideas, and opinions about forms of human expression, grounded in rational analysis and in an understanding of and respect for the historical context of expressions and artifacts, and to express these ideas in written and/or oral form.
• Under Social Sciences:
Learning Objective #1): demonstrate knowledge of human cultures based on an understanding of history, social situations, and social institutions.
Learning Objective #5): demonstrate intercultural and/or civic knowledge

The goal of the General Education requirements is that "Every student should leave IU with a broad knowledge of the social and natural world, an appreciation for the arts and humanities, a keen sense of self, an awareness of our membership in a global society, and an understanding of what it means to be thoughtful and responsible citizens of the community, state, and nation in which they live."

More information about the IUPUI General Education Core can be found at: due.iupui.edu/undergraduate-curricula/general-education/index.html

Core learning objectives, including those that map to sustainability listed in the question above, must be incorporated into every baccalaureate degree program in every college (2) and school (17) at IUPUI. IUPUI’s 2 colleges and 17 schools: iupui.edu/academics/schools.html

The IUPUI Profiles of Learning for Undergraduate Success (PLUS), which applies to all undergraduate programs, provide a framework of learning outcomes that every undergraduate student at IUPUI is expected to attain.
The Profiles will:
- Provide you with four major areas of knowledge and skills to prepare for a career, further education, community participation, and lifelong learning
- Offer you a unique education that incorporates campus values such as engaged learning, civic engagement, diversity, global learning, and other initiatives for which our campus is nationally recognized, including innovation, service learning, and civic engagement
- Give you opportunities to develop knowledge and skills that positively impact your engagement and well-being throughout your future career
- Enhance your learning both inside and outside of the classroom as well as through internships, student employment, research, study abroad, club leadership, theatre and performance, community-based projects, and many other opportunities on and near campus
- Prepare you with knowledge and skills that employers seek when recruiting future employees, not just for your first job, but for your entire career

One of the Profiles that maps to an integrated concept of sustainability is the following:

The IUPUI student is an active and valued contributor on the campus and in communities locally and globally. They are personally responsible, self-aware, civically engaged, and they look outward to understand the needs of the society and their environment. They are socially responsible, ethically oriented, and actively engaged in the work of building strong and inclusive communities, both local and global. The community contributor:
• Builds community
• Respectfully engages own and other cultures
• Behaves ethically
• Anticipates consequences

• Doctor of Medicine
o MD Education Program Competencies and Institutional Learning Objectives utilize the six ACGME competencies and their associated objectives serve as institutional level objectives: Medical Knowledge, Patient Care, Practice Based Learning & Improvement, Interpersonal and Communication Skills, Professionalism, Systems Based Practice.

The systems-based practice learning objective maps to sustainability:
1) Systems-Based Practice: Students demonstrate an awareness of, and responsiveness to, the larger context and system of health care, utilizing other resources in the system to provide care for patients. Students acknowledge the relationship between the patient, the community and the health care system and the impact on health of culture, economics, the environment, health literacy, health policy and advocacy to determine their role within these social and system dynamics.

The Master of Public Health (all concentrations) degree does not include sustainability-specific learning outcomes for all three pillars of sustainability (social and economic are present, but environmental is not) at the degree level, but does have required courses which clearly express all three sustainability pillars as part of their learning objectives.
