PROGRAM STANDARDS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES
Program standards apply to all similar programs of instruction offered by
colleges across the province. Each program standard for a
postsecondary program of instruction includes the following elements:
• Vocational standard (the vocationally specific learning
outcomes which apply to the program in question),
• Essential employability skills (the essential employability skills
learning outcomes which apply to all programs of instruction),
and
• General education requirement (the requirement for general
education in postsecondary programs of instruction).
The vocational and essential employability skills3 components of
program standards are expressed in terms of learning outcomes.
Learning outcomes represent culminating demonstrations of learning
and achievement. In addition, learning outcomes are interrelated and
cannot be viewed in isolation of one another. As such, they should be
viewed as a comprehensive whole. They describe performances that
demonstrate that significant integrated learning by graduates of the
program has been achieved and verified.
