Mapping the EARTH Undergraduate Curriculum: Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes

Abstract

Undergraduate student enrollment in the Earth Sciences Department at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa has grown significantly in recent years. The BA and BS program curriculum has been updated based on interview findings with alumni and employers, and careful analysis of trends in Geoscience education and department courses. This project maps the new undergraduate curriculum and provides a preliminary assessment of undergraduate student learning outcomes in the Earth Sciences.
