Student Learning Outcomes

The Kinesiology and Health Promotion undergraduate program at Cal Poly Pomona is divided into two subplans (Pedagogy and General). Based on the mission and vision of the college and university, five student learning outcomes have been identified that reflect general preparation in the overall Kinesiology and Health Promotion undergraduate program. Learning outcomes specific to each subplan also have been identified to delineate how the program meets specific student needs.
