Cornell University has expectations of Cornell graduates that may defy explicit measurement scales. These aspirational goals (listed below) are intended to encourage students' growth and development but do not necessarily lend themselves to assessment as readily as the learning proficiencies. In some fields of study, these aspiration goals may be measured, whereas in other fields they may not have quantitative or qualitative assessment.
