The purpose of a curriculum map is to demonstrate where program-level student learning outcomes are covered in the curriculum. These maps can be displayed in a number of ways to suit the requirements of individual programs. The following are some examples of curriculum maps. This is by no means an exhaustive sample - your map may look different from the examples below.
Example 1
| Course | SLO 1 | SLO 2 | SLO 3 | SLO 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Course 101 | B | B | B | |
| Course 200 | M | M | B | B |
| Course 350 | M | M | M | M |
| Course 495 | E | E |
Key
B = Beginning, M = Middle, E = End
B = outcome introduced in beginning of development, such as in introductory course
M = outcome covered in middle stages of development
E = outcome fully developed at the end of career, such as in a capstone course
Example 2
| Course | SLO 1 | SLO 2 | SLO 3 | SLO 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Course 104 | 3 | 1 | 2 | |
| Course 155 | 1 | 1 | 2 | |
| Course 270 | 2 | 1 | 3 | |
| Course 303 | 3 | 3 | 2 | |
| Course 450 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
Key
1 = minor emphasis
2 = moderate emphasis
3 = significant emphasis
Example 3
| PhD Requirements | SLO 1 | SLO 2 | SLO 3 | SLO 4 |
