Program Student Learning Outcomes Assessment
(AY 2021-2022)
Associate of Arts in LA/HCOP
PROGRAM STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES:
At the completion of the Liberal Arts/ Health Careers Opportunity Program, the student will be able to:
HCOP_PSLO_1. Describe the structure and function of organ systems in the human body..
HCOP_PSLO_2. Demonstrate a solid foundation in basic biological sciences.
HCOP_PSLO_3. Identify and describe different career opportunities in healthcare and allied professions
HCOP_PSLO_4. Identify, describe, and/or analyze issues relevant to human health.
FOLLOW-UP(S):
It is also recommended that the HCOP unit required for graduation will be lowered by 6 or 9 credits so the HCOP students can
concentrate on major science requirement courses. Suggested subjects to be removed are the following:
- Speech Communication (3 credits)
- Humanities requirements (3 credits)
- Open Elective requirements (3 credits)
WHAT WE LOOK AT:
The Liberal Arts/ Health Careers Opportunity Program assessment focused on PSLO 3 and 4 during the academic year 2020-2021
(Fall 20 & Spring 21)
WHAT WE FOUND:

Fall 2021-Health Science (SC 101)
83 % of students were able to describe health care and allied professions and gain experience working effectively in groups and with health professionals to address human life sciences and health problems based on the number of students passing the Health Science course with a score of 70% or better
Fall 2021-Human Nutrition (SC 112)
