Academic Rigor

Southern Wesleyan sets high standards for student learning across the curriculum. It is important that rigor, the academic challenge in which students must think and perform, is built sufficiently into each course and program. To ensure that all programs are of the highest quality:

Courses/programs must have measurable student learning outcomes;
Courses/programs must have a curriculum map that is consistent with SWU curriculum map guidelines, provides an overview of the structure of the curriculum, and indicates the contribution of individual courses to the goals of the program;
Academic content must progressively advance as course levels advance numerically.
