Mitchell Essential Learning Outcomes (MELOs)

The faculty at Mitchell Community College believe that students should demonstrate the following Mitchell Essential Learning Outcomes (MELOs):

  1. Construct sustained, coherent arguments, narratives, and/or explications of technical processes.
  2. Compute accurate and relevant calculations and/or present valid interpretation of quantitative information.
  3. Interpret personal, social, and/or global issues/ideas from different perspectives.
  4. Assemble evidence relevant to a problem/question and/or evaluate the significance of a problem/question and/or apply evidence to analyze a problem/question.
  5. Collaborate to achieve common goals.
  6. Employ appropriate and relevant information technology.

To ensure that our students attain these MELOs by graduation, Mitchell Community College requires that students:

  • Complete the general education core requirements listed in the students’ major program of study (see these courses/skills listed in the General Catalog/Student Handbook under the headings of “degree program”) and
  • Reinforce these goals through a series of courses and learning experiences encountered by our students from their freshman experiences up to their graduation from the College.
