The University of Connecticut places a high value on the ability of its undergraduates to demonstrate competency in five fundamental areas.
- Writing
- Quantitative Skills
- Second Language Proficiency
- Information, Digital, and Media Literacies (IDML)
- Dialogue
The development of these competencies rests on establishing clear expectations for students both at entrance and upon graduation, and on constructing a framework so that our students can reach these competencies.
The structure of each competency involves two parts: one establishing entry-level expectations and the second establishing graduation expectations. The entry-level expectations apply to all incoming students.
