东航卡帕's New Student Learning & 发展目标

东航卡帕 is delighted to share our new, finalized organization-wide Student Learning and 发展目标 (SLDOs).

SLDOs are meta-level learning objectives that transcend coursework and are infused across all elements of program design and delivery. They are the learning goals we promote across all sites, beyond specifics of course offerings, that address student learning holistically.

As an organization that proudly leads with academics, these SLDOs allow us to further distinguish ourselves in the field, and to compellingly describe to our partners and students how we go about delivering on our mission.

These new SLDOs received input from our academic teams around the world, our Global 教师 顾问y Council, 和我们的 CAPA咨询委员会. We look forward to them serving as our academic compass, helping us to deliver on the promise and possibilities that education abroad offers.
