About the Institute

The Institute on General Education and Assessment (IGEA) provides campus teams with opportunities to refine and advance general education programs and their assessment. The Institute focuses on building a campus learning culture for intentional, well-defined, and meaningfully assessed general education curricula. During the Institute, teams explore general education models, processes of redesign and implementation of highly effective practices, clarification and integration of learning outcomes, and strategies for assessment. Admission to the Institute is competitive and limited; however, all accredited two-year and four-year institutions are encouraged and eligible to apply.

Who Should Attend

The Institute on General Education and Assessment is designed for any campus, system, or group of campuses engaged in redesigning general education for students. Campuses can be at any stage in the process of rethinking general education approaches and issues emerging from their respective needs and circumstances. Campus teams typically include a senior academic officer and faculty members working on general education committees or teaching general education courses.
