After highly collaborative and extensive reviews, RIT developed sixteen General Education Student Learning Outcomes aligned to the General Education Framework. Each of RIT’s General Education Student Learning Outcomes has a corresponding rubric. Rubrics were developed by RIT Faculty Teams. All rubrics have been piloted once and some have undergone revision based on feedback from faculty who conducted the assessment.
