Institutional Learning Outcomes

Institutional Learning Outcomes (ILOs) include the knowledge, skills, and abilities embedded within every aspect of our college to inspire and enhance each student’s transferable learning skills. The ILOs represent the broad categories of competence that enable students to be successful in further education, careers, as citizens and in their personal lives. These ILOs were written collaboratively by faculty, approved by the Academic Senate, and mapped to PLOs.
