College Wide Abilities

Definition
A set of abilities and skills that are promoted throughout the entire college. For the instructional areas of the college, the CWAs represent broad categories of learning addressed across the curricula. The alignment of course-level learning objectives (CLOs), related program-level learning outcomes (PLOs), and CWAs reflect how individual courses fit into the larger picture of a program of study and the general college experience. In the academic catalog and in class syllabi, each CLO is aligned with the most relevant CWA, and this mapping is denoted by the inclusion of COMMUNICATE, ACT, REASON, or EXPLORE after each objective.
