The General Education Program Schedule

How it works:

• In order to mesh the assessment of general education with the other assessments at the university, we review the program in a three-year cycle.
   
• Since the program consists of three main elements – basic skills courses, introductory courses and further studies courses – each is reviewed in turn.
   
• In the fall semester, the general education committee gathers and assesses the data that has accumulated since the last review and writes a report to the Faculty Senate.
   
• In the spring semester, the report with any recommendations for change is presented to the senate early in the semester so that the senate has the time for thorough consideration prior to taking the recommendations to the general faculty later in the semester.
   
• Any changes approved by the general faculty will be instituted in the following version of the undergraduate catalog
