CYPRESS COLLEGE INSTITUTIONAL LEARNING OUTCOMES (ILOs)
(Approved by Academic Senate on April 22, 2004. Adopted by President’s Advisory Cabinet on May 6, 2004)
Students leaving Cypress College with a vocational certificate and/or an Associate Degree in Liberal Arts, Occupational Studies, or General Studies, or students transferring with
general education certification will demonstrate common learning outcomes. Institutional Learning Outcomes (ILOs) refer to the scope of requirements either for a vocational
certificate or for any AA/AS degree or general education certification rather than individual courses or programs.
A distinction between ILOs and student learning outcomes (SLOs) is important. The college will assess service to students who complete an overall college degree or certificate by
examining general student achievement through ILOs. The college will also assess service to students in specific courses by examining general student achievement in courselevel SLOs.
A student who receives a certificate from Cypress College . . .
• Will have acquired a specified set of skills required for particular employment opportunities
• Will have achieved the necessary competencies to enter a particular employment field
• Will be aware of additional educational and career opportunities within that field
A student who graduates from Cypress College with an AA or AS degree in any field or transfers with a general education certification . . .
• Will possess a breadth of knowledge and experiences from the areas of the humanities and arts; the natural sciences and mathematics; the social sciences; and physical
education
• Will possess skills for life-long learning in oral and written communication; human adaptability and health; critical thinking, including deductive/inductive reasoning, problem-solving,
and quantitative/qualitative reasoning; and information competency
