Institutional Core Competencies: South Central College has created goals for all of its students to
attain by the completion of their degrees. These standards are called Institutional Core
Competencies. South Central College has determined that the following six competencies are
important educational, career and personal life skills.
Communication: Communicate effectively with a variety of audiences using verbal, non-verbal,
listening, written, interpersonal and team skills
Critical Thinking: Evaluate arguments, separate fact and opinion, recognize points of view,
understand implications and consequences, make ethical decisions and acknowledge diverse
values.

environment, culture and politics. Has a general knowledge of history and world events. Understand
and respect cross-cultural differences and issues. Understand the impact of other cultures and
world events on life in the USA. Work effectively in teams of diverse composition.
Math/Logic Reasoning: Apply computation, data measurement, logic, analysis and synthesis to

solve problems and make decisions.
Professionalism: Develop attitudes and habits of punctuality, honesty, respect and self-directedness
while contributing to a personal and group goal.
Technological Literacy: Access and analyze information using technology to solve problems and
work on individual and team projects.

Goal 3: Natural Sciences
To improve students' understanding of natural science principles and of the methods of scientific inquiry,
i.e., the ways in which scientists investigate natural science phenomena. As a basis for lifelong learning,
students need to know the vocabulary of science and to realize that while a set of principles has been
developed through the work of previous scientists, ongoing scientific inquiry and new knowledge will bring
changes in some of the ways scientists view the world. By studying the problems that engage today's
scientists, students learn to appreciate the importance of science in their lives and to understand the
value of a scientific perspective. Students should be encouraged to study both the biological and physical
sciences.
•Demonstrate understanding of scientific theories.
•Formulate and test hypotheses by performing laboratory, simulation, or field experiments in at least two
of the natural science disciplines. One of these experimental components should develop, in greater
depth, students' laboratory experience in the collection of data, its statistical and graphical analysis, and
an appreciation of its sources of error and uncertainty.
•Communicate their experimental findings, analyses, and interpretations both orally and in writing.
•Evaluate societal issues from a natural science perspective, ask questions about the evidence
presented, and make informed judgments about science-related topics and policies.
