After defining the graduate profiles, the study program establishes the Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) required to achieve those profiles. The PLOs of the Master’s Program in Qur’anic Studies are formulated with reference to the vision and mission of UIN Sunan Kalijaga and the objectives of the Master’s Program in Qur’anic Studies . Another essential foundation is the national curriculum framework, which requires PLOs to encompass four aspects: attitudes, knowledge, general skills, and specialized skills. The descriptions of the PLOs and their alignment with the vision and mission of UIN Sunan Kalijaga are presented in the following tables.

Editorial note: The mapping table above follows the content and PLO assignments in the supplied source. Some original entries may require verification before use in a final accreditation document. In particular, the designation of Occidentalist Studies for Pandangan Akademisi Timur terhadap al-Qur’an should be checked against the intended meaning, and the repeated assignment of PLO 4 to both contemporary approaches and research methodology should be confirmed against the official curriculum matrix.
