Student Learning Outcomes

As a student-centered educational institution, CIAM is committed to ensuring that students successfully achieve learning outcomes via measurable and verifiable knowledge, skills, abilities, and attitudes. Today’s institutions of higher learning are being asked to document that they are producing value to their students. Quality graduate business programs must identify what they expect students to be able to do or what skills they are expected to learn in their courses. These Student Learning Outcomes link to the overall mission of the institution.
