在机构层面, CMU has established student learning outcomes by the level of degree to be awarded. The institutional learning outcomes were written based on the Lumina Foundation's 学历简介 研究生阶段基本学习领域的成果清单, 学士学位, 还有副学士学位课程. 最初, four of the outcomes were selected to assess (Specialized Knowledge/Applied Learning; and the Intellectual Skills of Communication Fluency, 定量流利, 和批判性思维), 然而, 未来可能会添加更多结果. The technical certificate outcomes were written by faculty at Western Colorado Community College to align with the three degree categories.
In addition to the institutional student learning outcomes listed below, program-specific student learning outcomes are included on the program sheet for each program.
