CAS Learning Outcomes

Showing evidence of achieving the learning outcomes is essential to a student’s CAS program. While it is not necessary for every CAS experience to address a CAS learning outcome, students are required to present evidence demonstrating achievement of all CAS learning outcomes at least once in their portfolio.

Learning Outcome Descriptors

Read the learning outcomes to yourself and write down any memorable keywords. Prepare to share with the class.
