The student-learning outcomes in each category must be met through courses identified within each category.
Written (WC) and Oral (OC) Communication
- Write clear and effective prose in several forms, using conventions appropriate to audience (including academic audiences), purpose, and genre. (LEAP A, B, C and D)*
- Listen and speak competently in a variety of communication contexts, which may include public, interpersonal, and/or small-group settings. (LEAP B, C and D)*
- Find, analyze, evaluate, and cite pertinent primary and secondary sources, including academic databases, to prepare speeches and written texts. (LEAP B and D)*

- Plan, organize, revise, practice, edit, and proofread to improve the development and clarity of ideas. (LEAP B and D)*
WC courses must meet the first SLO and OC courses must meet the second SLO, with both types of courses meeting at least two of the remaining three SLOs.
Quantitative Reasoning (QR)
- Interpret information presented in mathematical and/or statistical forms. (LEAP B)*
- Illustrate and communicate mathematical and/or statistical information symbolically, visually, and/or numerically. (LEAP A, B and C)*

- Make inferences, evaluate assumptions, and assess limitations in estimation modeling and/or statistical analysis. (LEAP B, C and D)*
QR courses should meet all five SLOs.
