Learning Goals and Outcomes

UW-Eau Claire Liberal Education Learning Goals

These five goals are UW-Eau Claire's highest, most general goals for student learning.

Following the recommendation of the LEAP National Leadership Council, the UW-Eau Claire Liberal Education Learning Goals are emphasized across "every field of college study." That is, they are intentional in program and course design; intentional in general education and throughout the majors; and intentional in the arts and sciences and in the professional colleges (College Learning for the Global Century).

As the AAC&U stresses, the knowledge and skills of these learning goals cannot be achieved in any one program. They will be "achieved in many different ways, across highly diverse institutional contexts and fields of study" (College Learning for the New Global Century). Thus, UW Eau Claire's Liberal Education Learning Goals are broad and general so that departments, degree programs, and co-curricular units can identify goals and/or learning outcome statements that are specific expressions of the Liberal Education Goals.
