Wilmington University Graduation Competencies

In 1987 the Faculty Senate adopted a list of expected graduating competencies for undergraduate students. Undergraduate and graduate competencies were adopted in November 1994. Both sets of competencies were reviewed, revised, and adopted by the Faculty Senate in 2010.

Upon graduation, students are expected to have gained an advanced level of applicable knowledge in the graduate competencies, as appropriate to one’s field of study.
