Student Learning Outcomes or SLOs identify what students will know, be able to do, or be able to demonstrate when they have completed or participated in a program/activity/course/project. These outcomes are usually expressed as measurable gains in knowledge and skills and the successful integration of values and attitudes into the educational experience. SLOs enable students to articulate and quantify the learning incorporated in their co-curricular experience and select co-curricular experiences that facilitate achieving their personal development goals SLOs are aggregated under Divisional Learning Outcomes (DLOs). Taken as a whole, Divisional Learning Outcomes represent co-curricular education goals that the Division of Student Affairs and Campus Life has established for all UMass Amherst students and represent the knowledge, skills and attitudes that students obtain from engaging within the total learning environment of UMass Amherst.
