Template for using Course SLOs to derive Program Learning Outcomes (ProLos) | Unnamed: 1 | Unnamed: 2 | Unnamed: 3 | Unnamed: 4 | Unnamed: 5
**See instructions below on how to use this template**
Program Learning Outcomes  The student will be able to: | Courses in Degree/Certificate (& Course SLOs) Enter designator and number for each course. To include more courses, insert columns as needed.
 | Course 300 | Course 310 | Course 335 | Course 368 or Course 372 | Any Elective
 | ***Note: The SLOs below are Course SLOs from Socrates****
ProLO #1… | comprehend the complexity of the American democratic system. | analyze, synthesize, and explain the differences and similarities of world governments as to their composition, function, and policies. | comprehend the complexity of the global nation-state system | comprehend the diversity of thought surrounding the field of political science
ProLO #2… | define key terms used in the study of the American system. | develop an understanding of cultures through politics, political culture, popular civic participation. | define key terms used in the study of International Relations | define key terms used in the study of political theory
ProLO #3… | explain the conditions and values necessary for political democracy to exist. | compare specific countries by identifying common denominators and symbiotic relationships | compare and contrast regional, cultural, and ideological perceptions of global politics | recognize the life and times of various political thinkers
ProLO #4… | illustrate the relationship between national, state, and local governments and evaluate the effectiveness of the federal system. |  | explain the conditions and values necessary for resolving conflicts in the global nation-state system | understanding questions concerning people and their relationships to the political environment
Instructions for using this template
1.  [NAME] to develop 5 - 10, potentially measurable ProLos.  (This is an approximate number and may be more or less depending on the department.)
2.  Enter course SLOs of required courses for degree in columns. (Cut and paste fromSocrates)
3.  Determine how to include SLOs from electives (i.e. all electives or sample courses)
4.  Examine course SLOs for common themes and develop a ProLO to reflect those themes.  For example, major areas of knowledge, skills or abilities are often reflected across several courses.  However, it is possible that a major theme and associated [NAME] is only reflected in one or two courses of a program.
5.   Some course SLOs may be unique and not rise to the level of a ProLo.
6.  Some ProLos may result from completing a series of courses and do not present themselves clearly in individual courses.
7.  Write ProLos in specific terms to differentiate the outcomes identified, but be broad enough to encompass the variety of paths possible to achieve that outcome.
8.  [NAME] taxonomy (3 domains) to clarify the level of the outcome and focus of future assessment.
9.  Utilize internal and external sources (collaboration, transfer institution outcomes, IMPAC, professional organizations, industry, accreditating bodies, etc.) to refine outcomes.
