College Graduate Competencies
The Faculty Assessment Committee has identified seven areas of College Graduate Competencies CGCs. These CGCs are communicated to students by a statement that is common to every course syllabus: MTC believes that every graduate should possess a common set of skills regardless of the student’s major.
These skills are collectively called the College Graduate Competencies, or CGCs. The faculty has defined specific CGCs in six areas:
- Mathematics: Solve problems using mathematics.
- Communications: Communicate effectively in writing and orally.
- Writing Across the Curriculum Rubric Tool
- Technology: Use technology tools efficiently and effectively to perform personal and professional tasks.
- Problem Solving: Solve problems through analysis, creativity, and synthesis to make informed decisions.
- Professionalism: Demonstrate good work habits, effective interpersonal and teamwork skills, and a high level of professionalism.
- Intercultural Knowledge and Values: Intercultural knowledge and values are described as developing the skills to interact with members of the community in mutually beneficial ways.
These skills are taught, reinforced, and/or periodically measured in various courses throughout the curriculum in every degree program.
