Institutional Learning Outcomes

Effective January 12, 2015, the institutional learning outcomes have been updated.

Institutional learning outcomes are designed by the University as a whole, taking into account the role that both instruction and student services play in contributing to a student’s success. Institutional
learning outcomes assume achievement of the stated programmatic learning outcomes of one’s
discipline.

Upon graduating from a degree program offered by West Coast University, students should be able to:

1. Implement intellectual and practical problem solving skills through information assessment and
critical thinking.

2. Demonstrate effective written communication skills.

3. Demonstrate effective oral communication skills.

4. Demonstrate computer proficiency and information literacy.

5. Describe ethical standards and legal guidelines associated with one’s chosen career field.

6. Explain why knowledge of and respect for the societal contributions of diverse cultures and
perspectives is an important quality in one’s discipline.

7. Articulate the importance of working collaboratively with other healthcare providers in support of the client/patient.
