The Valencia faculty have defined four interrelated competencies
(Value, Think, Communicate, and Act) that prepare students to
succeed in the world community. These competencies are outlined in
the College Catalog. In this course, through classroom lecture and
discussion, group work, and other learning activities, you will
further develop your mastery of these core competencies.
