BRCC has identified four three specific college-level competencies within the general education core that are tracked for associate degree students to gauge the level of proficiency of its graduates. These outcomes are listed in each applicable course syllabus. Instructors should list the learning outcomes on their syllabi along with the more specific course competencies. The general education outcomes The institutional learning outcomes are:

• Communication: Students will

  demonstrate the ability to communicate through various media to.enhance students’ reading, writing, and speaking skills for professional and academic settings.
  • Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs)
