Standard 7. Students and Graduates Goal. Student and Graduate goal needs to address students and graduates at a higher level.
Standard 8. Community of Interest Goal. The program must address how the program will provide professional development opportunities once the needs are identified, how and when these professional development opportunities will be offered. In addition, provide rationales on how the program plans to give back to the community.
Standard 9. Advisory Community Requirement Goal. The advisory committee goal must have a greater influence on the program’s curriculum and influence the direction of the program.
