Learning Outcomes
MPRK tries to design, compile and implement an academic curriculum based on Outcome Based Education (OBE). Therefore, in preparing the substance of learning outcomes and curriculum structure, MPRK prioritizes the principles of Outcome Based Education (OBE). All existing curriculum instruments including the subjects contain content that not only enhances students cognition aspect but also their skill. If reviewed deeper, each course offered by MPRK has four elements of academic achievement that are diverse and important in realizing the principles of the Outcome Base Education (OBE) as a whole.
In terms of developing attitudes, MPRK has designed courses that are not only knowledgeable and practical. It also focuses so that each subject becomes supporting instrument for students to develop their attitude, especially as a scholar engaged in issues of peace and conflict resolution. Tolerance and non-violence values ​​towards all God's creations are basic concepts that must be possessed by MPRK students, so the students can become agents of peace by upholding the commitment to critical thinking and lifelong learning processes. MPRK puts forward the attainment of attitudes according to the needs that actually exist in society.
