Mesa Institutional Learning Outcomes Overview

Mesa's Institutional Learning Outcomes (ILOs) focus on core values such as communication, critical thinking, global awareness, personal awareness, civic responsibility, self-awareness, interpersonal skills, and technological awareness. These outcomes are designed to guide students in acquiring essential knowledge, skills, and attitudes across various courses and programs. The institution's mission emphasizes diversity, community responsiveness, and fostering scholarship, leadership, and responsibility. The ILOs are operationally defined and structured to ensure measurable learning outcomes that align with the institution's goals. Various levels of learning outcomes, including program-level, course-level, and administrative unit outcomes, contribute to student success through a collaborative effort involving instructional programs, student support services, and library/learning support services.
