General Studies Program - Student Learning Outcomes

Student Learning Outcomes:

The Department has established student learning outcomes (SLOs) for the programs. The SLOs are available in PDF format.

Students will use American Sign Language (ASL) and written English to communicate effectively with diverse audiences, for a variety of purposes, and in a variety of settings.

Students will summarize, synthesize, and critically analyze ideas from multiple sources in order to draw well-supported conclusions and solve problems.

Students will understand themselves, complex social identities, including deaf identities, and the interrelations within and among diverse cultures and groups.

Students will apply knowledge, modes of inquiry, and technological competence from a variety of disciplines in order to understand human experience and the natural world.

Students will make reasoned ethical judgments, showing awareness of multiple value systems and taking responsibility for the consequences of their actions. They will apply these judgments, using collaboration and leadership skills, to promote social justice in their local, national, and global communities.
