General Curriculum Mapping Materials
Curriculum mapping is a method used to align instruction with a degree program’s learning outcomes. The map (matrix) documents what is taught and when; identifies when a student learning outcome is introduced, practiced, mastered, and assessed; identifies reveals gaps in the curriculum; and helps to refine a program’s assessment plan.

- Integrative Learning: Developing the ability to make, recognize, and evaluate connections among disparate concepts, fields, or contexts; tying things together that don’t seem obvious (such as within a learning community; a senior capstone project completed by a team of students from different majors; as when a business student conducts market research to help a community agency estimate the potential client load for a new branch office; reflective essays in a multiyear portfolio)
- Scholarly Activity: Creative work that is peer reviewed and publicly disseminated
