Definition of an Instructional Program for the Purpose of Program Learning Assessment

For the purpose of program learning assessment practice and reporting, an “instructional program” is a defined sequence or grouping of courses within a discipline required for the completion of a major, degree, or Chancellor-approved certificate at Victor Valley College.  (Adopted: 05/02/2013)

PLOs by Program:
At VVC, only academic disciplines offering a degree or certificate develop Program Learning Outcomes, which are uniform across all pathways within a given discipline of study. Program Learning Outcomes are statements of the kind of learning a program hopes a student will achieve. The PLOs describes the knowledge, skills, problem-solving, communication and values that apply to all certificates and/or degrees within that program.
