Instructions: The purpose of the critical thinking requirement is to assist in the realization of the core goals, competencies, and outcomes of the general education curriculum at Chicago State University. All critical thinking courses must have as their primary focus and major objective the development of each of the core competencies associated with critical thinking listed below. Although “critical thinking” in its broadest sense cannot be captured by a single heuristic device or definition; nonetheless, the core competencies and criteria developed above do represent the foundational skills recognized for academic success. These competencies are independent of disciplinary affiliation. The committee recognizes that some discipline-specific course materials can be effective at developing critical thinking skills. Thus, interdisciplinary courses designed with these competencies as their primary focus will qualify as “critical thinking” courses at Chicago State University.
