Skills and Knowledge Gained

No two students in the Master of Arts in Critical and Creative Thinking gain the exact same kind of skills and knowledge. However, students end the program armed with the following learning outcomes:

  1. Identifying problems using interdisciplinary methods;
  2. Synthesizing problems using interdisciplinary methods;
  3. Critically analyzing ideas, including those from empirical and popular research;
  4. Creating innovative approaches for solutions to problems; and,
  5. Choosing appropriate research methods for addressing specific problems.

Students demonstrate these skills most notably in a unique graduate project, which takes place near the end of a student's career in the MA CCT.

For more information on knowledge and skills gained, including the MA CCT's Assessment Practices, please contact the Master of Arts in Critical and Creative Thinking Office.

What are Student Learning Outcomes?

Student learning outcomes (SLOs) are those skill and knowledge sets that every educational program hopes its students gain at the completion of their studies.
