Learning Outcomes
Graduate Studies Learning Outcomes work in conjunction with UNMC’s overall Learning Outcomes. Each of the five Graduate Studies Learning Outcomes fulfill one or more of the Institutional Learning Outcomes (ILOs). The ILOs provide another way to measure where our students are successful while simultaneously measuring how our academic programs are successful in developing iTEACH values in UNMC students.
