In support of the specific knowledge, understanding, and skills developed in individual programs of study, Capilano University has identified seven institution-level learning outcomes for all students. These institutional student learning outcomes are:
- Demonstrate a commitment to reconciliation, community engagement, sustainability, and social justice.
- Synthesize information from diverse sources, demonstrating proficiency in research methods and ethical use of information in multimodal platforms.
- Communicate effectively to convey ideas clearly and persuasively as individuals and as groups.
- Use data literacy skills to interpret and draw conclusions from quantitative and qualitative sources.
- Apply disciplinary knowledge, critical thinking skills and competencies to complex issues in real-world contexts and professional settings.
- Analyze and appreciate artistic expressions across various media, fostering creativity, imagination, and aesthetic awareness.
- Engage in critical examination of diverse cultural perspectives and global issues.
Each program of study individually determines how students meet the institutional learning outcomes, all of which are supported by the Cap Core Curriculum. While different programs of study have a different emphasis on each institutional outcome and may have differing levels of expected competence, all programs of study address every institutional outcome.
