| Data Summary | Our benchmark is to have 70% or more of the students who complete the course able to successfully perform each outcome. Based on these results, we feel students who completed BOSS 4500 are successfully achieving our outcomes. |
| Planned Improvements | Students who do not complete BOSS 4500 have a much harder time achieving outcomes A-C. In the future, students will be strongly encouraged to take BOSS 4500 before 4501 to increase their chances for success. |
