What should be included in the curriculum map to satisfy AAHEP standards?

• A. Course objectives, competencies addressed, and sequencing
• B. Course objectives, competencies addressed, credit hours, and sequencing
• C. Course objectives, competencies addressed, credit hours, sequencing, and assessment methods for each competency
• D. Course objectives and assessment methods

Answer: (C)

AAHEP wants a curriculum map that clearly shows how what’s taught connects to expected outcomes and how those outcomes are measured. The best combination includes course objectives, the competencies addressed, the credit hours assigned to each course, the sequencing of courses, and assessment methods for each competency. Including assessment methods is crucial because it demonstrates how each competency will be evaluated and whether students actually achieve the required skills and knowledge. Credit hours matter because they document workload and resource investment, while sequencing shows the progression of learning and prerequisites, ensuring a coherent build-up of competencies. Without any of these pieces, the map would fail to prove alignment with standards.
