The primary focus of WKU’s KGP 2025-2026 was to best align CPE’s10 Essential Skills with our current general education program. These alignments were required and determined based on Colonnade Learning Outcomes.
The alignments to the Colonnade program are attached to this article. These alignments are subject to change as WKU revises existing general education requirements. CPE’s Essential Skill Toolkit including C-BEN rubrics with levels of mastery defined is available at this link The Kentucky Graduate Profile from the Council on Postsecondary Education
Note: Effective Spring 2026, all Colonnade courses must include a streamlined competency statement. Each category has a unique competency statement. All courses offered in that category must use the SAME competency statement.
