CTU’s Institutional Learning Objectives (ILOs) define the knowledge, skills, and dispositions expected of every CTU graduate, regardless of program. Each degree program maintains its own Program Learning Objectives (PLOs) that express the ILOs at the program level. As the institution’s sole program of study, the MBA maintains four PLOs corresponding to the four ILOs, with the Disciplinary Competence objective expressed as competence in business.

​

ILO 1 Disciplinary Competence: Graduates demonstrate command of core business knowledge appropriate to the MBA.

ILO 2 Communication: Graduates communicate effectively in professional written and oral contexts.

ILO 3 Critical Thinking: Graduates analyze information, evaluate evidence, and apply sound reasoning to business problems.

ILO 4 Christian Ethics: Graduates apply Christian ethical principles to professional decision-making and conduct.
