CCNY Institutional Learning Outcomes

Undergraduate Institutional Learning Outcomes 

The City College Faculty Senate adopted these Undergraduate Institutional Learning Outcomes on October 16, 2025, as a useful framework for College-wide assessment, reflection, and continual improvement, to be reviewed and revised as often as the City College faculty sees fit to ensure their continued relevance and alignment with the College’s historic mission. 

Students graduating from City College can: 

  ILO1: demonstrate critical thinking by analyzing and evaluating an argument’s major assumptions and evidence.  

  ILO2: interpret, evaluate, and synthesize information from a variety of sources and perspectives to produce well-reasoned and audience-appropriate written and oral arguments supported by evidence and upholding principles of academic integrity. 

  ILO3: interpret quantitative and scientific data and apply tools of science, mathematics, and technology to analyze problems and develop solutions. 

  ILO4: demonstrate understanding of the central concepts, methods, appropriate sources, ethical practices, historical context, and current issues within at least one discipline or interdisciplinary framework. 

  ILO5: demonstrate the ability to engage in the process of discovery or creation in a laboratory setting, studio, library, or field environment and to connect academic learning to the professional competencies, values, and/or social impact of their intended career path.
