探花视频 conducts consistent assessment of its success in achieving its mission and its mission to educate students. These learning outcomes guide the institution’s mission to foster social responsibility, sustainable solutions and ethical leadership, emphasizing commitment to the common good, human dignity, and holistic education. The assessment of institution-wide student learning outcomes is an enduring activity across the University including all academic programs and co-curricular programs. 

Core Outcomes were developed from the nationally recognized LEAP Essential Learning Outcomes, The Middle States Commission on Higher Education's general education standards, and the credit requirements of the PA Department of Education and are regularly assessed.

  • CATHOLIC IDENTITY: 探花视频 values reflection on the process of respectful engagement with people of diverse faiths and worldviews through thoughtful dialogue or collaboration.  It is the articulation of the connection between the work of the discipline and the pursuit of truth, goodness, beauty, justice, and the common good.
  • RESPECT: In the spirit of 探花视频’s commitment to community, the demonstration of behaviors that honor the dignity, worth, and unique identity of every individual through the application of ethical and just decision-making in academic, social, and professional contexts.  Evaluate how choices and actions impact environmental stewardship, impact, and sustainability.
  • EMPOWERMENT: Through the use of academic knowledge and skills, 探花视频 values the pursuit of real-world goals with confidence and with the ability to analyze complex problems and create informed responses, to support accessibility, and to demonstrate self-advocacy, initiative, and leadership in academic and community settings.
  • SERVICE: 探花视频’s community members identify and analyze real community needs or larger systemic inequities through research, dialogue, and observation. The goal is to prepare students to integrate academic learning with professional development.
  • EXCELLENCE: Our institutional values demonstrate mastery of discipline-specific knowledge and skills in pursuit of high academic and professional standards.  The focus is on high-level cognitive skill building, including critical thinking and communication skills.

探花视频 assesses these outcomes through both direct and indirect measures, including the review of student work, exams, projects, surveys, and other feedback mechanisms including evaluations and surveys.
