    What are the twenty-first-century learning skills that we can integrate in undergraduate education? There are at least four major skills as follows:

    1. Critical thinking
    2. Communication
    3. Collaboration
    4. Creativity

    Moreover, undergraduate students need to develop higher-order thinking skills such as creativity and synthesizing in order to be well-prepared for navigating the twenty-first century and success.
