Assessment of Academic Programs - Cross-Curricular Skills

Cross-Curricular Skills

The purpose of the cross-curricular skills is to enable each institution to integrate and extend general education learning into its programs of study in a manner consistent with and supportive of each institution’s mission, vision and values and any requirements of ongoing institutional or program-specific accreditation or approval. Each institution will manage the design, integration, assessment, evaluation and ongoing continuous improvement of cross-curricular skills within its degree programs. Each university undergraduate program will select no less than three to five of the following cross-curricular skill requirements as programmatic student learning outcomes.

  • Inquiry and analysis

  • Information literacy
  • Teamwork
  • Problem solving
  • Civic knowledge and engagement
