Michigan Tech no longer has university-wide learning goals.
Launching in Fall 2025, the Essential Ed program will replace the general education curriculum used by Michigan Tech undergraduates since 2013. Essential Ed has its own Essential Abilities.
Resources for Essential Ed are being developed, here is key information to assist faculty in planning their courses.
- Essential Ed Program Overview- Includes general description and course numbers of course categories/lists
- Essential Ed Resource Hub for Instructors (in Canvas) - These resources, developed by faculty colleagues from across campus, are designed to help instructors understand the Essential Education program and support their development of Essential Education courses. Resources for the Essential Ed's continous improvement are included.
Former University Student Learning Goals
The former Undergraduate Student Learning Goals (USLGs), previously used for both degree programs and general education, are being phased out. Contact assessment@mtu.edu if you would like access to the previous USLG rubrics.
