General Education Program Assessment
Learn More About the General Education Program
Utilizing the twelve goals of the General Education program, four Shared Learning Outcomes were determined in an attempt to capture the more than 40 distinct skills or abilities outlined for students as a part of the goals of the General Education curriculum. The development of the four shared learning outcomes allowed for a manageable and effective, yet non-intrusive, system for assessment to be developed. The four Shared Learning Outcomes represent students’ capacity to communicate their ability to critically think and solve problems, to comprehend and contribute to diverse and global perspectives, to be a steward of life-long learning, and to advance public opportunity. Additionally, these four Shared Learning Outcomes are certainly credible outcomes that capture the intentions and purpose of General Education in the college curriculum.
