Abstract
This study was conducted to identify the core competencies that college students expect their universities to develop. A survey was given asking the importance of 14 core competencies and the current educational level to 1,110 undergraduate students from a four-year comprehensive university with the majority of humanities and social sciences majors located in the local area. Following the IPA, Borich's needs assessment model and the Locus for Focus model analysis were performed. As a result, four competences, namely, problem-solving skills, critical thinking skills, interpersonal collaboration skills, ethical awareness and civic consciousness were identified as the competencies most important but in need of improvement. Based on the results of this study, policy implications on competency-based higher education in the future were presented.
