1.1 The programme to show that the expected learning outcomes are appropriately formulated in accordance with an established learning taxonomy, are aligned to the vision and mission of the university, and are known to all stakeholders.

Operational Result
The Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) International Programme at St Teresa International University demonstrates that its expected learning outcomes are appropriately formulated using an established learning taxonomy, aligned with the vision and mission of the university, and communicated to all relevant stakeholders.

The BBA Programme offers three specialisations:
– International Business
– Logistics Management
– Tourism and Hotel Management

1. Formulation of Programme Learning Outcomes

Programme Learning Outcomes (PLOs) are formulated through a systematic and consultative process, guided by the Plan-Do-Check-Improve (PDCI) cycle, to ensure that they reflect institutional goals, national higher education standards, stakeholder needs, and industry expectations. The programme uses Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy as the established learning taxonomy to determine the appropriate level of learning achievement expected of graduates.

Plan
The BBA Programme begins PLO formulation through a structured planning process involving key internal and external stakeholders identified in TQF 2, including university administrators, faculty members, academic and non-academic staff, students, alumni, employers, internship supervisors, and industry representatives. The university vision and mission, the Thai Qualifications Framework for Higher Education (TQF-HEd), national higher education requirements, and the needs of the business sector serve as primary references.

Do
The programme conducts structured meetings, consultations, and working group discussions with relevant stakeholders to develop the PLOs. Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy guides the selection of appropriate action verbs and the determination of the level of learning achievement expected at the undergraduate level. PLOs are then distributed across courses through curriculum mapping, and translated into Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) to ensure constructive alignment among programme outcomes, course outcomes, teaching and learning activities, and assessment methods.

Check
The curriculum committee reviews the drafted PLOs to ensure they are clearly stated, measurable, attainable, relevant, and aligned with institutional, national, and professional requirements. The review verifies consistency with the university’s vision and mission, and confirms that the expected levels of learning are appropriate based on Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy. Stakeholder feedback, employer expectations, internship evaluations, and national academic standards are all considered in this review.

Improve
Based on review findings and stakeholder feedback, PLOs are refined and updated. The most significant outcome of this continuous improvement process was the development and formal approval of the Revised Curriculum B.E. 2568 (2025), registered with the Office of the Higher Education Commission (สป.อว.) in May 2025. This revision introduced a restructured set of 13 PLOs spanning four outcome domains, replacing the previous five-domain TQF framework, to better reflect contemporary business competencies, Thailand’s Higher Education Standards B.E. 2565 (2022), and AUN-QA Version 4.0 expectations.

2. Current Programme Learning Outcomes

The BBA Programme currently operates under two concurrently implemented curricula during the transition period:

a) Revised Curriculum B.E. 2563 (2020): followed by Year 2, 3 and 4 students (entry cohorts 2024, 2023 and 2022 respectively), with PLOs structured across five TQF-HEd learning domains.

Operational Result

The Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) International Programme ensures that the learning outcomes for all courses are appropriately formulated and systematically aligned with the Programme Learning Outcomes (PLOs). This alignment is maintained across both the 2020 curriculum (currently followed by Year 3 and Year 4 students) and the 2025 curriculum (currently followed by Year 1 and Year 2 students).

1. Formulation of Course Learning Outcomes

The Programme Learning Outcomes serve as the primary reference for developing Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) for every course in the curriculum. Each course has its own set of CLOs, which describe the specific knowledge, skills, values, and competencies that students are expected to demonstrate upon completion of that course.

CLOs are formulated to be:

  • Clear and specific — expressed using action verbs derived from Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy, indicating the expected cognitive or affective level of achievement.
  • Measurable — assessable through course assessments, assignments, projects, and examinations.
  • Aligned — connected to one or more PLOs to ensure that each course contributes to the programme’s overall graduate outcomes.
  • Appropriate in level — calibrated to the year level and credit weight of the course within the curriculum structure.

The programme applies the principle of constructive alignment to ensure that CLOs, teaching and learning activities, and assessment methods are coherently connected. Faculty members develop CLOs in accordance with the programme’s curriculum framework, and all CLOs are documented in the course syllabus (TQF 3) for each course.

Program Learning Outcomes

The BBA Programme currently operates under two concurrent curricula. The PLO frameworks for both are presented below to demonstrate how CLO-PLO alignment is maintained across all student cohorts.

2A. PLO Framework — 2020 Curriculum (Year 3 and Year 4 Students)

5. Analysis of Alignment

The curriculum map and CLO-PLO alignment examples demonstrate that Course Learning Outcomes across the BBA Programme are not developed independently, but are systematically derived from and connected to the Programme Learning Outcomes. The following observations confirm the comprehensiveness of this alignment:

  • Coverage across all PLO domains: The curriculum map confirms that all five learning domains of the 2020 TQF framework — Moral & Ethics, Knowledge, Cognitive Skills, Interpersonal Skills & Responsibility, and Numerical Analysis, Communication & IT — are addressed across multiple courses at all year levels, ensuring progressive and reinforced development of graduate competencies.
  • Progressive development: Core courses in Years 1 and 2 focus primarily on foundational knowledge and cognitive skills, while Year 3 and Year 4 courses emphasise application, synthesis, and professional practice — reflecting a deliberate scaffolding of learning aligned with Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy.
  • Specialisation alignment: Major specialisation courses in International Business, Logistics Management, and Tourism & Hotel Management address PLOs specific to each field, ensuring that graduates of each specialisation achieve the relevant discipline-specific outcomes in addition to the common programme outcomes.
  • 2025 curriculum alignment: For Year 1 and Year 2 students following the 2025 curriculum, CLO-PLO alignment is documented in full in TQF 2 (B.E. 2568), with all 13 PLOs mapped to courses across the revised curriculum structure. This documentation is available as supporting evidence.

Summary

The BBA Programme ensures that Course Learning Outcomes for all courses are appropriately formulated using Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy, clearly aligned with the Programme Learning Outcomes, and systematically monitored through curriculum mapping across both the 2020 and 2025 curricula. The constructive alignment of CLOs with PLOs, teaching and learning activities, and assessment methods ensures that all courses contribute meaningfully to the achievement of the programme’s graduate outcomes, producing graduates equipped with the knowledge, skills, ethical values, and character required for professional success in national and international business environments.

1.3 The programme to show that the expected learning outcomes consist of both generic outcomes (related to written and oral communication, problem solving, information technology, teambuilding skills, etc) and subject specific outcomes (related to knowledge and skills of the study discipline).

Operational Result

The Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) International Programme ensures that its Programme Learning Outcomes (PLOs) comprise both generic outcomes – transferable knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values applicable across professional and social contexts — and subject-specific outcomes – knowledge and skills directly related to the discipline of business administration and each of the programme’s three specialisations. This balance is maintained across both the 2020 curriculum (currently followed by Year 3 and Year 4 students) and the 2025 curriculum (currently followed by Year 1 and Year 2 students).

Generic and Subject-Specific Outcomes

Generic outcomes are broad, transferable competencies that graduates can apply across diverse professional, academic, and social contexts, regardless of their field of specialisation. These include:

  • Written and oral communication in English and professional settings
  • Critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and problem-solving
  • Information literacy and digital technology skills
  • Teamwork, collaboration, leadership, and interpersonal skills
  • Ethical reasoning, integrity, and social responsibility
  • Lifelong learning, self-development, and adaptability
  • Quantitative reasoning and data interpretation

Subject-specific outcomes are the discipline-based knowledge and skills that define competence in business administration and its specialisation areas. These include:

  • Business theories, models, and practices across core functional areas (management, marketing, finance, operations, HR)
  • Strategic management and business analysis tools
  • Research methodology and evidence-based decision-making in business contexts
  • Specialisation-specific knowledge and technical skills in International Business, Logistics Management, and Tourism & Hotel Management

2. Generic and Subject-Specific Outcomes — 2020 Curriculum (Year 3 & 4 Students)

Under the 2020 curriculum, PLOs are grouped across five TQF-HEd learning domains. Each domain integrates both generic and subject-specific dimensions, as shown below:

PLO DomainGeneric OutcomesSubject-Specific Outcomes

PLO13 — Character: Global AwarenessCultural sensitivity, cross-cultural collaboration, global citizenshipInternational business culture, multicultural team dynamics, global market awareness

4. Subject-Specific Outcomes by Specialisation

In addition to the common programme outcomes, each specialisation develops distinct subject-specific outcomes that reflect the knowledge and technical competencies required in that field. These are summarised below:

SpecialisationKey Subject-Specific OutcomesRepresentative Courses
International BusinessGlobal trade dynamics and international finance; cross-border business management and regulatory frameworks; multinational corporation strategies; export-import operations; foreign investment analysis; international marketing; cross-cultural business negotiationInternational Trade, International Finance & Banking, Cross-Cultural Management, Export-Import Management, International Marketing, Global Business Strategy

Through curriculum mapping, the program verifies that each course contributes to the development of both generic and subject-specific competencies. The generic outcomes prepare students to become responsible, ethical, communicative, technologically competent, and collaborative graduates. The subject-specific outcomes prepare students with the required knowledge and skills in business administration and their chosen specialization.

Examples of Generic and Subject-Specific Outcomes in Selected Courses

The following examples show how selected courses integrate both generic and subject-specific learning outcomes.

6. Monitoring and Quality Assurance

The programme ensures that both generic and subject-specific outcomes are properly integrated, practised, and assessed through the following monitoring mechanisms:

  • TQF 3 Preparation and Review: At the start of each semester, all faculty members prepare TQF 3 course specifications documenting the CLOs, teaching and learning activities, and assessment methods for their assigned courses. The Department Head and designated course checkers review TQF 3 documents to verify that CLOs appropriately reflect both generic and subject-specific dimensions and are aligned with the corresponding PLOs.
  • Curriculum Mapping Review: The curriculum committee conducts an annual review of the curriculum map to verify that all PLOs — both generic and subject-specific — receive adequate coverage and progressive development across courses. Any gaps identified in generic or subject-specific outcome coverage are addressed through CLO revision or curriculum adjustment.
  • Stakeholder Feedback Integration: Employer satisfaction surveys, internship supervisor evaluations, and alumni feedback are collected and analysed annually. Results are used to assess whether the balance between generic and subject-specific outcomes meets industry expectations. For example, employer feedback indicating that graduates need stronger English communication skills or digital competencies has informed targeted enhancements to generic outcome development in the 2025 curriculum.
  • Outcome Achievement Monitoring: Student performance data, including course pass rates, internship supervisor ratings, and capstone project results, are reviewed each semester to assess the extent to which both types of outcomes are being achieved. This data is presented in the programme’s annual quality assurance report and informs the next planning cycle.

7. Analysis

The BBA Programme’s PLO framework — across both the 2020 and 2025 curricula — demonstrates a deliberate and balanced integration of generic and subject-specific outcomes. Several key observations support this conclusion:

  • Comprehensiveness: Every PLO domain addresses both generic transferable competencies and discipline-specific knowledge, ensuring that graduates are both broadly capable and professionally specialised.
  • Progressive development: Generic outcomes such as communication, teamwork, and critical thinking are introduced in Year 1 foundation courses and progressively developed through Year 4 capstone experiences, including the Professional Experience Training (internship). Subject-specific outcomes deepen progressively from introductory business concepts in Year 1 to advanced specialisation courses and applied research in Years 3 and 4.
  • Specialisation differentiation: Each specialisation track develops distinct subject-specific outcomes while maintaining the common generic outcomes required of all BBA graduates, ensuring both breadth and depth of graduate competency.
  • Evidence of achievement: Results from the Employer Satisfaction Survey confirm that graduates are rated above 4.0/5.0 across both generic dimensions (e.g., teamwork, ethics, communication) and subject-specific dimensions (e.g., business knowledge application, use of technology), with particular strength in ethical conduct and digital skills.

1.4 The programme to show that the requirements of the stakeholders, especially the external stakeholders, are gathered, and that these are reflected in the expected learning outcomes.

Operational Result

The Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) International Program at St Teresa International University ensures that the requirements and feedback of stakeholders, particularly external stakeholders, are systematically gathered, analyzed, and reflected in the Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs). Stakeholder input informs the formulation, review, and updating of PLOs, Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs), course content, teaching and learning strategies, and student development activities.

1. Stakeholder Identification and Engagement Mechanisms

Stakeholder CategoryStakeholder GroupsEngagement Mechanisms
Internal StakeholdersStudents, faculty members, program administrators, academic and non-academic staffStudent feedback surveys, faculty meetings, curriculum review meetings, program planning sessions, orientation activities
External StakeholdersEmployers, internship providers, alumni, industry representatives, parents, professional and government bodiesEmployer satisfaction surveys, internship provider feedback forms, alumni consultations, curriculum review meetings with industry representatives, school visits, advisory board discussions

External stakeholder feedback is given particular emphasis in the program’s quality assurance cycle, as it provides direct evidence of whether graduates meet workplace expectations and industry requirements. The program collects this feedback through structured instruments administered at regular intervals throughout the academic year.

2. Stakeholder Feedback Collection

2.1 Employer Satisfaction Survey

The program conducts an annual Employer Satisfaction Survey to assess the performance of BBA students and graduates against expected learning outcomes. The survey results are presented below. The survey covers three assessment dimensions:

  1. Five TQF-HEd Learning Outcome Domains: Moral and Ethics, Knowledge, Cognitive Skills, Interpersonal Skills and Responsibility, and Numerical Analysis, Communication and Information Technology Skills.
  2. Three ONESQA Learner Outcomes: (1) Learner Person, referring to graduates who are self-directed, curious, and committed to lifelong learning; (2) Co-creator, referring to graduates who collaborate effectively with others to generate value and solve problems; and (3) Active Global Citizen, referring to graduates who demonstrate responsibility toward society, culture, and the global community.
  3. English Proficiency and 21st-Century Skills: Communication in English, digital literacy, critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and adaptability..

Note: Scores above 3.51 are classified as Very Good. All scores in the Employer Satisfaction Survey exceed this threshold, indicating that employers are generally satisfied with BBA graduates across all specializations and all assessment dimensions. Green shading indicates scores at or above 4.20 (Excellent range); blue shading indicates scores between 4.00 and 4.19 (Very Good, upper range).

2.2 Internship Provider Feedback

Internship providers directly observe students’ performance in real workplace settings and provide feedback through structured evaluation forms completed at the end of each internship cycle. Their ratings and comments are reviewed by the program coordinator and used to identify both strengths and areas for improvement in student preparation.

Internship supervisor ratings consistently confirm that BBA students demonstrate competence in professional conduct, teamwork, and task completion. At the same time, supervisors across all three specializations have consistently identified the following areas requiring further development:

  • English language proficiency and confidence in workplace communication
  • Self-confidence in initiating communication with supervisors and colleagues
  • Readiness for job applications, including resume writing and interview preparation
  • Familiarity with workplace expectations and professional norms

2.3 Alumni Feedback

Alumni are consulted through annual alumni meetings, post-graduation surveys, and participation in curriculum review activities. Alumni feedback provides a retrospective perspective on the relevance and adequacy of the program’s learning outcomes in preparing them for their careers. Common themes from alumni feedback include the value of the internship experience, the importance of English communication competency in their professional roles, and the relevance of business knowledge and analytical skills developed during the program. Alumni have also recommended strengthening digital skills and professional networking preparation, feedback that has been incorporated into the 2025 curriculum revision.

2.4 Curriculum Review Consultations

Industry representatives, employers, and professional body contacts are invited to participate in curriculum review meetings held as part of the five-year curriculum revision cycle. During the most recent review leading to the 2025 curriculum, external stakeholders provided recommendations on course content updates, emerging competency areas, and the relevance of PLOs to current industry needs. These recommendations directly informed the restructuring of the PLO framework from five TQF domains to four outcome domains (Knowledge, Skills, Ethics, and Character) and the introduction of 13 explicitly defined PLOs in the Revised Curriculum B.E. 2568 (2025).

3. Reflection of Stakeholder Requirements in Program Learning Outcomes

The following table shows how specific stakeholder requirements gathered from employers, internship providers, and alumni are reflected in the BBA Program Learning Outcomes under both the 2020 and 2025 curricula:

5. Curriculum Review Cycle and Stakeholder Participation

To ensure the curriculum remains responsive to industry requirements and stakeholder expectations, the BBA Program undergoes a comprehensive curriculum review every five years. This review is conducted with active participation from both internal and external stakeholders.

The most recent review cycle culminated in the Revised Curriculum B.E. 2568 (2025), which was formally approved and registered with the Office of the Higher Education Commission (สป.อว.) in May 2025. Key outcomes of this stakeholder-informed revision include:

  • Restructuring of the PLO framework from five TQF-HEd domains to four outcome domains (Knowledge, Skills, Ethics, and Character), better reflecting current industry competency expectations.
  • Introduction of 13 explicitly defined and measurable PLOs replacing the previous six broadly stated outcomes.
  • Strengthened emphasis on English communication (PLO5), digital technology (PLO6), and global awareness (PLO13) in direct response to employer and alumni feedback.
  • Integration of character development outcomes (PLO11-PLO13) reflecting both Thai educational values and international graduate attributes.
  • Updated specialization content across International Business, Logistics Management, and Tourism and Hotel Management to reflect current industry developments.

The next scheduled curriculum review will take place in 2030 (B.E. 2573), with interim annual reviews of CLOs and course content conducted through the program’s regular quality assurance cycle.

The BBA Program at St Teresa International University demonstrates a systematic and evidence-based approach to gathering and incorporating stakeholder requirements into its expected learning outcomes. External stakeholder feedback is collected through annual employer satisfaction surveys, internship provider evaluations, alumni consultations, and curriculum review meetings with industry representatives. The 2024 Employer Satisfaction Survey results confirm a Very Good level of satisfaction across all specializations, with overall mean scores of 4.13 for TQF learning outcomes, 4.15 for ONESQA learner outcomes, and 4.18 for English and 21st-century skills. Areas for improvement identified by stakeholders have been addressed through targeted interventions and, most significantly, through the 2025 curriculum revision, which restructured the PLO framework and introduced 13 outcomes explicitly aligned with current industry, national, and international quality standards.

Internship as Evidence of Learning Outcome Achievement

The internship is an important mechanism used by the BBA Program to verify whether students can demonstrate the expected learning outcomes in real-world workplace settings. During the internship period, the Head of Program or internship coordinator conducts internship visitations to monitor student performance and gather feedback from internship providers. If any issues regarding student performance are identified, the program takes appropriate action.

After completing the internship, students are required to submit weekly reports and present their internship learning experiences to the Faculty of Business Administration. Each report must be verified and signed by the designated workplace supervisor. In addition, the program uses an internship evaluation tool completed by the workplace supervisor or the organization’s head. The evaluation document is submitted confidentially to the Head of Department or internship coordinator in a sealed envelope.

The Head of Department also conducts a post-internship interview to verify the students’ internship experience, supervisor feedback, internship presentation, and evaluation results. This process confirms whether students have achieved the expected learning outcomes before graduation.
