Program Objectives and Program Outcomes

Program Objectives :

اُردو زبان و ادب کے ذریعے طلباء میں حصولِ علم کا جذبہ پیدا کرنا تاکہ وہ ملک و قوم کے لیے مفید شہری ثابت ہوں۔

اُردو زبان کا دائرہ صرف ادب تک محدود نہیں، اس میں تاریخ، جغرافیہ، سیاسیات، شماریات، اقتصادیات، طب، ارضیات اور محاسبات، بلکہ عصرِ حاضر کے تمام علوم و فنون کا اظہار ہو رہا ہے اور ہو سکتا ہے۔ لہٰذا طلباء کو اس قابل بنانا کہ وہ جب اپنی عملی زندگی کا آغاز کریں تو مذکورہ علوم کا اپنی قومی زبان میں اظہار کر سکیں۔

کسی بھی زبان کا ادب اس خطے کی تہذیب، ثقافت اور اقدار کا نمائندہ ہوتا ہے۔ لہٰذا اُردو کی تدریس کے ذریعے طالب علموں کو اپنی اقدار اور ثقافت سے روشناس کرانا بھی پیشِ نظر ہے۔

اُردو کی مختلف نثری، منظوم اصناف اور دیگر طرزِ زبان کو پڑھ کر ان میں امتیاز، استحسان اور تنقید کر سکیں۔

Program Outcomes:

طلباء ایسوسی ایٹ ڈگری اِن اُردو کے حصول کے بعد اپنی پیشہ ورانہ صلاحیتوں کا اظہار قومی اور نجی اداروں میں کر سکیں گے، جن میں شعبۂ تعلیم (تدریس) اور نشریاتی ادارے (ریڈیو، ٹیلی ویژن، اخبارات) خصوصی طور پر شامل ہیں۔

طلباء میں نہ صرف قومی خدمت کا جذبہ پیدا ہو گا، بلکہ باعزت اور اچھے روزگار کی وجہ سے ان کی معاشی ضروریات بھی پوری ہو سکیں گی۔

طلباء ادب پارے کو پڑھ کر اس کا فکری و فنی جائزہ لے سکیں گے۔
