JCCC has developed a set of college-wide learning outcomes that will equip students with the skills and abilities to be successful in their studies, their careers and in lifelong learning. An education at JCCC will give students skills in writing, speaking, culture and ethics, mathematics, modes of inquiry, and problem solving.

To determine whether the curriculum at JCCC helps students achieve these outcomes, faculty members serving on the General Education Learning Outcomes (GELO) Assessment Committee score student work solicited from professors in courses where these learning outcomes would most likely be taught or utilized. The office of Institutional Research then tabulates and analyzes those scores and presents the results to the GELO Assessment Committee to determine any need to adjust the college-wide curriculum.
