University Learning Outcomes
Below are the University's student learning outcomes. Students are expected to have achieved these outcomes by the end of their four years at the University--not the end of their first year. Nonetheless it would be a good idea to do some planning concerning how you might further develop skills and knowledge in the following areas. You can use the "Goals" page of your eportfolio to make your notes.
1. Acquire, synthesize, and communicate knowledge by incorporating relevant disciplinary approaches, various cultural perspectives, and Catholic intellectual tradition.
2. Recognize moral and ethical questions in lived experiences, evaluate competing options, and act with integrity.
3. Contribute to the common good by displaying a disciplined sensibility and committed engagement in response to complex challenges facing local, national, or global communities.
4. Demonstrate the vision and self-direction necessary to articulate and advance their goals.
5. Think critically before accepting or formulating opinions or conclusions.
6. Exhibit creativity or innovation in the pursuit of their intellectual interests.
7. Display a level of mastery in their major field(s) of study that enables them to successfully pursue professional careers or advanced study.
