Communication Across the Curriculum (CAC)

Illinois Institute of Technology’s Communication Across the Curriculum (CAC) program recognizes the importance of communication skills for students throughout their studies and beyond. This value informs our mission to help students develop the communication skills that they need to succeed as they enter college, progress into their disciplines, and move into their careers. Our program goals include:

• Advancing the use of writing as a tool for thinking and learning
• Supporting students in developing communication skills throughout their education 
• Advising departments and degree programs on communication curriculum
• Supporting instructors who are teaching communication skills in their courses
• Assessing the teaching of communication skills across the university
