Institutional Learning Objectives

Institutional learning objectives describe the holistic development of our students' skills.

Institutional learning objectives are UNMC-wide student learning objectives that clearly state the knowledge, skills, attitudes and critical reasoning that students are expected to acquire and develop at the institution. 

They describe students’ holistic development regardless of their academic discipline and are seamlessly aligned to the UNMC's iTEACH values to reflect the academic, interpersonal and intrapersonal development goals most important to the institution.
