Draft of General Education Structure
The Gen Ed Task Force has developed the attached general education curricular structure, which will be considered by CGEIP and Faculty Senate early in the Fall semester 2012. The structure draft document should be read in conjunction with a forthcoming Call for Course Proposals, which will explain the role of general and specific learning goals in courses and the criteria CGEIP will use in considering proposed courses.
Any questions or comments about the draft should be directed to CGEIP Chair Joshua J. Smith or Task Force Chair Etta Madden.
