​​​​UWSP Student Learning Outcomes


"Learning outcomes are statements of what is expected that a learner will be able to do as a result of a learning task or activity." (Jenkins and Unwin, 2004).

As educators, we hope that students will learn as a result of participating in curricular and co-curricular experiences. How learning is defined varies among each unit in Student Affairs; however, all would agree that learning is the primary enterprise of any university.​
