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 seven areas.

All completed CGC assessments are evaluated using the following individual rubrics:

• Mathematics: Solve problems using mathematics.
• Oral Communication: Compose academic writing by producing clear, coherent, and well-organized compositions. 
• Written Communication:  Convey ideas orally with clarity, organization, and academic integrity.
• 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.
