How will the compacts affect degree programs?
Compacts should not affect most degree programs. Programs that have course requirements that can be associated with learning outcomes can comply without difficulty. Programs where course requirements do not allow easy association will have to construct means to ensure that every graduate has completed a program that has those core learning outcomes. This can be done through methods such a required examination, a capstone experience, specific requirements such as portfolios or essays, or structured sampling.
