Academic Learning Compacts

The Florida Board of Governors mandated that public universities in Florida develop an Academic Learning Compact (ALC) for each baccalaureate degree program. The Compacts are meant to identify the expected core student learning outcomes for degree program graduates relative to communication skills, content/discipline knowledge and skills, and critical thinking skills. It is expected that students should acquire these skills and knowledge if they successfully follow the prescribed course of study in their declared major, and the Compacts will delineate what students are expected to know and be able to demonstrate upon successful completion of their undergraduate degree program. Additionally, the Compacts must identify the corresponding assessment strategies used to measure student achievement on each of the core student learning outcomes for the degree program.
