Institutional Learner Outcomes (ILOs)

Academics

Northland has identified five Institutional Learner Outcomes (ILO) that all graduates should achieve. They are Communication Skills (ILO 1), Critical Thinking (ILO 2), Social Engagement (ILO 3), Application of Resources (ILO 4), and Personal Development (ILO 5).

ILO #1: Communication Skills

  • Students will demonstrate appropriate use of communication.

ILO #2: Critical Thinking

  • Students will gather information, develop solutions, and apply a viable plan of action.

ILO #3: Social Engagement

  • Students will be prepared to practice social engagement that addresses environmental responsibility, civic engagement, and global diversity.

ILO #4: Application of Resources

  • Students will be prepared to practice social engagement that addresses environmental responsibility, civic engagement, and global diversity.

ILO #5: Personal Development

  • Students will demonstrate professional and personal growth behaviors.

Each ILO is assessed using a scoring rubric consisting of four scoring criteria that identify specific cognate outcomes that Northland graduates achieve.
