Student Learning Outcomes

Undergraduate General Education Outcomes

In keeping with the standards of MICA’s accreditors, all undergraduate students have educational opportunities that include the study of values, ethics, and diverse perspectives, and allow them to acquire and demonstrate a set of essential skills. While the two accrediting bodies differ in the way they articulate these skills, there is some overlap. We believe that many of these skills are important to all students, not just undergraduates, so several of them are reflected in MICA’s Institutional Learning Outcomes.
