Intellectual and Practical Skills

Students will demonstrate progressively advanced competence in the intellectual and practical skills related to oral and written communication, independence, interdependence and reasoning, including scientific inquiry, quantitative literacy, information literacy and problem-solving.

Self Regulation

Students will develop and implement practices associated with self-monitoring, goal orientation, academic discipline, determination, accountability and responsibility. In addition, students will develop the ability to evaluate and modify their reactions and behaviors in order to work under conditions of uncertainty and facilitate introspection and resilience.
