Intellectual Maturity
 Academics > Program and Goals > Goals and Learning Outcomes > Intellectual Maturity
Program Goal
- Students develop their intellectual capacities, by acquiring dispositions and habits associated with intellectual maturity. Students develop their intelligence, which implies the development of its principal functions: analysis, synthesis, reflection, application, memory and judgment.
Program Outcomes
- Students analyze, that is, they divide the whole into its parts or constitutive elements, with the aim of establishing a hierarchy of ideas and a relation between them.
- Students synthesize, that is, they are able to say concisely and exactly what is found in many pages; they know how to form a significant ensemble with the elements found in different sources; they can distinguish the essential from the accidental and the peripheral.
- Students reflect, demonstrating an ability to fathom the essence of things. They think and consider things or ideas thoroughly with profundity, clarity and precision. They assimilate and interiorize what is studied to be able to express it in their own words.
- Students apply what they have learnt, using abstractions (concepts, general ideas, rules, principles, methods, or theories) appropriately and creatively in concrete particular situations.
- Students train their memory, retaining information with the possibility of recalling it in the opportune moment to apply and use what is remembered.
- Students judge arguments, propositions, problems, situations, activities, etc… based on their logical foundations and in correspondence with objective reality.
