What some might call employability skills or learning outcomes, the faculty and staff at Alverno College call abilities. They see the abilities, as they have identified them, as inherent in the practice of their disciplines, and they place them at the heart of a liberal education, to be developed and demonstrated by students in an integrated manner across the curriculum. © Stephen Fallows and Christine Steven and named authors, 2000.
