Welcome to the Course/Program Matrix Page of the Foothill College 21st Century Learning Outcomes Project.


Here you will find out how to analyze the course objectives of your courses and programs in terms of the Core Competencies that our students should complete before they graduate.

You can think of this process as an ongoing conversation around the question:

What knowledge, skills, and abilities does a student need to have to graduate from this course or this program?

Here’s what you will find here:

• A list of the Core Competencies as determined by the College Curriculum Committee
  
• A Course Matrix for individual courses
  
• A Program Matrix for Certificates and Degree Programs
  
• Sample Matrices showing analysis of a course and of a program
  English 1A Matrix Sample - English 1A Course Outline (pdf)
  Math 10 Matrix Sample - Math 10 Course Outline (pdf)
• A Step-by Step process for completing the Matrices and submitting them online

Use this site as a resource as you explore what your students need to know in the 21st Century.
