SFCM's Learning Outcomes outline our priorities as an institution. Based upon our Four Pillars (Artist, Intellectual, Professional, Individual), each outcome describes a measurable skill or ability that students will develop during their time here.

Learning Outcomes assessment is led by the Student Learning and Assessment Committee (SLAC), which looks closely at SFCM's curriculum to ensure student learning is effective and ongoing. SLAC's Learning Outcomes reports are included below.
