In order to fully engage with
knowledge, whether for a specific purpose or for its own sake, DePaul students
are encouraged to develop the ability to think critically and imaginatively,
formulate their own understanding, and effectively communicate their ideas.
This goal articulates specific skills that comprise these broader abilities.
Outcomes: DePaul students will be able to:
systematically access, analyze and evaluate information
and ideas from multiple sources in order to identify underlying
assumptions, and formulate conclusions.
solve quantitative problems.
create and support arguments using a variety of
approaches.
use existing knowledge to generate and synthesize ideas
in original ways.
communicate clearly in speech and writing.
