The 8 Abilities
Our foundation of learning
For nearly 50 years, Alverno’s ability-based curriculum has been described as innovative and revolutionary. We believe the real benefit of knowledge is knowing how to apply it, which is
why we integrate eight core abilities into our curriculum. The 8 Abilities are: Communication, Analysis, Problem Solving, Valuing in Decision Making, Social Interaction, Developing
a Global Perspective, Effective Citizenship, and Aesthetic Engagement.
The 8 Abilities are the foundation of the Alverno experience, and students practice these essential skills throughout their educational journey, working toward mastery. Ultimately, the 8
Abilities are what give our students and alums the power to stand apart from the crowd and to succeed both personally and professionally.

Our two residence halls on campus, Austin Hall and Clare Hall, are nestled on 46-acres of lush green space with running and walking paths, picnic tables and places for socializing, studying and reflection.
