Graduates of the Educational Psychology program at Universidad de Las Américas are highly qualified, competent, and enterprising professionals with an international-global vision, capable of fostering human development in diverse teaching and learning contexts through innovative intervention strategies and psychoeducational support.
Furthermore, graduates analyze key concepts, theoretical perspectives, and empirical findings in psychology and apply them to behavioral phenomena across varying levels of complexity. Graduates also apply scientific reasoning to design and carry out research and to explain psychological phenomena. In addition, graduates design teaching and learning experiences by integrating knowledge from the fields of pedagogy and educational management. Likewise, graduates are equipped to advise and lead transdisciplinary teams in identifying solutions to educational challenges, including the evaluation of teaching and learning processes and the analysis of outcomes to implement strategies that enhance learning and well-being within educational environments.
Finally, graduates are expected to lead multidisciplinary teams in both national and international settings, conducting themselves with ethics, creativity, proactiveness, innovation, and responsibility. Graduates are committed to respecting the current legal framework, contributing to society, and supporting national development.
Demographic Data - provides information about student enrollment disaggregated by gender and ethnicity, offering insight into the demographic diversity within the program.
Student Completion - provides information about retention and graduation rates calculated through the 2021–2022 academic year, based on cohorts of new, first-time students entering the program in the fall semester, regardless of enrollment in the daytime or evening instructional delivery (if applicable). These calculations exclude incoming transfer students. Specifically, retention rates are reported at one-year and two-year intervals.
In addition, graduation rates are calculated according to each program’s duration length (100%) and within 150% of the normal time for a bachelor’s degree. Gender-based graduation data reflects only the distribution of actual graduates within each cohort and does not consider the original gender composition of the entering group.
Scholarship Information - provides information about student financial support, with data disaggregated by the type of scholarship awarded.
Geographic Data - provides information about the geographic composition of students enrolled in the program, based on place of origin.
Additional Demographic Data - provides information about students’ marital status, disability status, and first-generation college attendance.
All programs utilize the Brightspace platform to collect and assess student work and to compile data and evidence of student achievement. The resulting outcomes and their analysis, which focus on identifying areas for improvement, are presented in the program’s assessment report. In the graphic below, the most recent assessment period for each Program Learning Outcome (PLO) is indicated, along with the percentage representing the level of achievement of the expected performance standard for that PLO, based on the rubric used to evaluate student work.
