There is evidence of successful attainment of program outcomes and general education outcomes.
Conclusion Students do not always earn declared degrees or certificates for many reasons Declared degree/cert may not be accurate Employment opportunity may present itself Value of degree/certificate may be unclear
What next? In what ways do we have room for improvement? What can we do to help students?
