Each course that is part of a program will have student learning outcomes that are mapped to program learning outcomes. The program course student learning outcomes are otherwise known as competencies.
Competencies for each course cannot be changed without approval from the program director. The syllabus template for each class will contain both the program learning outcomes and the Program Course Student Learning Outcomes. The Program Course Student Learning Outcomes will be evaluated at the end of each semester as part of accreditation.
Each program has a set of program outcomes and course level outcomes that align to an assessment plan. A copy of this plan can be obtained from the Program Director or the Director of Accreditation and Evaluation.
The University of Kentucky College of Public Health is undergoing a review by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) for re-accreditation. Part of this process includes the invitation to provide third-party comments. Anyone, including students, alumni, employers, community partners, etc., is allowed to share relevant information about the college directly with CEPH. If you would like to provide input to CEPH to inform their review, send your comments to submissions@ceph.org by May 4th, 2025.
