Attainment of Learning Outcomes

Learning outcomes at UAEU are defined at the course, program and institutional levels. The three progressive levels of learning outcomes are aligned with each other and with the program objectives, the UAEU mission and goals, and the requirements of the national and international accreditation agencies. The outcome attainment level is defined as the percentage of students who scored 70% or higher (80% or higher in the case of graduate programs) in the collected assessment data. The outcome is attained if the calculated attainment level is equal to or greater than a predefined attainment target. The minimum attainment target is currently set to 70% across the entire University.
