Getting Your GLOA Started
The Graduate Learning Outcomes Assessment (GLOA) Process begins with the faculty in a graduate program selecting at least one graduate learning outcome for assessment. The learning outcomes for graduate programs will vary. Below are examples of graduate student core learning competencies that programs can consider for their GLOA. Programs may also identify unique learning competencies. The graduate learning outcome that each program selects to assess will come from a single core competency.
Core Competencies (Examples)
Fellowships Requiring UMD Nomination
The fellowships listed below are limited submission fellowships, meaning a UMD nomination is required for the application.
