General Education
AAC&U has worked intensively on the issue of general education
reform since the early 1980s. AAC&U general education initiatives
aim to ensure that every undergraduate student experiences a relevant
and challenging general education curriculum. In addition to working
with campuses to strengthen their general education programs overall
or to reform specific aspects of them (e.g. science requirements
or diversity requirements), AAC&U initiatives address strengthening
general education for transfer students, embedding high expectations and meaningful assessment of student learning, and general education as essential for enhancing curricula and pedagogy. |
