    Program Educational Objectives (PEOs):

    Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) are the attributes and abilities that the graduates are expected
    to demonstrate within four to five years of graduation. The PEOs stipulate the high-level program
    objectives and provide a broad framework to design program learning outcomes, curriculum and its
    provision.
    The BSMLT program aims to prepare the graduates who are expected to:
    1. Demonstrate excellence in profession through in-depth knowledge and skills as a medical lab
    technologist in healthcare sectors, academia, and industry.
    2. Demonstrate effective communication and interpersonal skills with high professional and
    ethical standards.
    3. Engage in continuous pursuit of knowledge and lifelong learning.

    Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs):

    The Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) broadly describe the knowledge, skills and behaviors the students acquire in their program of study that are intended to foster the achievement of Program Educational Objectives (PEOs).

    By the end of the BSMLT program, the graduates will have the following attributes: 

    Knowledge

    Demonstrate an understanding of the underlying scientific principles of laboratory testing, including technical, procedural, and problem-solving aspects.

    Skills
