Outcomes-Based Academic Program Model (ZULOs)
Zayed University has adopted an outcomes-based academic program model. The colloquy and undergraduate programs at Zayed University are consequently outcome-based and designed with reference to the Zayed University Learning Outcomes (ZULOs). These six outcomes were created by faculty members at Zayed University as a means of developing the necessary skills to prepare students for the world.
The Zayed University Learning Outcomes are found in the Zayed University Catalog.
The major programs are housed within one of the six academic colleges; each college's faculty members have created its major Learning Outcomes aligned with the Zayed University Learning Outcomes. Each student will have successfully fulfilled all 6 ZULOs upon graduating from the university.
Within each college, faculty have identified Major Learning Outcomes (MALOs) which are aligned with the Zayed University Learning Outcomes but are discipline specific.

A few minutes later, feeling very tired, he left the room, remarking, ‘I have no disposition to leave this precious circle. I love to be here surrounded by my family and friends.’ Then he gave them his blessing and said, ‘I am ready to go and I wish you goodnight.’”

“Research shows clearly that parents who have modeled nurturant, reassuring responses to infants’ fears and distress by soothing words and stroking gentleness have toddlers who already can stroke a crying child’s hair. Toddlers whose special adults model kindliness will even pick up a cookie dropped from a peer’s high chair and return it to the crying peer rather than eat it themselves!”
—Alice Sterling Honig (20th century)
