Outcomes articulate the skills, abilities, and knowledge that students learn in the TC Program. If you are a TC major, you will present examples of your work from the courses you have taken in your capstone portfolio to demonstrate your learning. As you are taking courses, an understanding of the outcomes will help you in two ways: 1) it will help you understand how the various courses tie together and integrate work and experiences as part of a larger context and 2) it will help you to identify and select coursework that meets specific outcomes.
