Honors Learning Outcomes

The University Honors Program engages students in meeting four key learning outcomes related to the program's mission, vision, and values. All Honors graduates demonstrate significant progress on these learning outcomes, assessed at each stage of the curriculum with work and reflections submitted in the University Honors Program Canvas courses:

Research and Discovery
Students develop skill in research by asking key questions, investigating past and current work, and adding their discoveries and voices to critical conversations in relevant fields.

Critical Thinking
and Self-reflection
Students develop skill in thinking critically, respectfully, and reflectively about their own and others’ ideas and perspectives.

Clear and Effective Communication
Students develop skill in understanding their audience and communicating their ideas clearly, effectively, and respectfully.

Collaboration and Community Engagement
Students develop skill in working with others, often across disciplines, to make a difference in their local, national, and global communities.
