Citizenship
All educated citizens must possess a core of basic, enabling skills and competencies that provide a foundation for broader acquisition of knowledge. These foundational, cross disciplinary skills and competencies; applied in diverse ways, form the heart of an academic experience as each contributes to the development of understanding within and among the disciplines. Moreover, these skills and competencies are necessary for productive participation in society, and for lifelong learning. The foundation skills include reading, writing, speaking, listening, viewing, quantifying, problem solving, reasoning and creative thinking and the knowledge of how to access and use technology.
