Alverno College began its outcome-oriented liberal arts curriculum in the fall of 1973. Clearly traceable to Alverno's early heritage as a teachers' college for educating the sisters of a teaching order is the current liberal arts college's interest in the incoming student's orientation to college learning. Each section of this report briefly outlines one of the eight areas of competence toward which the college orients its teaching and for which it holds its students accountable. The eight outcomes of education are: effective communications ability; analytical capability; problem-solving ability; facility in forming value judgments within the decisionmaking process; effective social interaction; understanding of individual/environment relationships; understanding of the contemporary world; and educated responsiveness to the arts and humanities.
