Campus Learning Outcomes
The Indiana University East Campus Learning Outcomes are designed to provide graduates with
the knowledge, skills and attitudes for a productive life. Indiana University East’s faculty seeks
to guide students to become lifelong learners, effective communicators, and critical thinkers.
Graduates will be able to…
1. Communicate clearly and effectively in written and oral forms
Effective communication includes the ability to read, write, listen, speak, and use
appropriate resources in delivering and responding to a message. A competent
communicator is able to compose a clear message, relate purposeful and relevant ideas
suitable to the intended audience, and select appropriate written, verbal and nonverbal
strategies to effectively communicate or respond to an intended message.
2. Access, use, and critically evaluate a variety of relevant information sources
University educated individuals have the skills to efficiently and effectively locate, retrieve
and evaluate information in order to use academically valid source material. Educated
individuals have the ability to assess the accuracy, credibility, objectivity and timeliness of
information and use that information ethically through appropriate documentation
methods.
3. Apply principles of inquiry to define and analyze complex problems through reasoning
and discovery
Reasoning, inquiry, discovery, and creativity are the processes by which individuals utilize
resources and methods to understand and answer complex problems, and to form and
revise beliefs. University educated individuals raise important questions and formulate
them in a comprehensible way, developing and defending their conclusions based upon
reliable evidence. These individuals demonstrate understanding of the ethical standards of
doing their work and communicating the results and findings.
4. Demonstrate the ability to relate within a multicultural and digitally connected world
University educated individuals possess the knowledge and attitudes necessary to
effectively relate to and collaborate with individuals from a wide variety of backgrounds,
beliefs and experiences. Our graduates have the ability to perform effectively in a virtual
setting and accomplish tasks individually or collaboratively in both online and traditional
environments.

Specialists in a field of study have sufficient knowledge to apply the basic principles of the
discipline in their work environment, or for subsequent learning experiences. University
