Open forums this month to give chance to weigh in on undergraduate common curriculum

Faculty, staff and students are encouraged to join the Common Curriculum Planning Committee for one of the scheduled open forums to engage in the critical discussion around framing a common undergraduate curriculum for all 91¸£ÀûÉç students.

Responding to the 2020 report by the Higher Learning Commission, 91¸£ÀûÉç’s accrediting body, Chancellor Phil DiStefano declared 91¸£ÀûÉç’s commitment to creating a common learning experience and a common set of intended learning outcomes for 91¸£ÀûÉç undergraduates. This commitment is grounded in the 2018 recommendation of the university’s Academic Futures strategic initiative to define common educational touch points throughout the undergraduate experience.Ìý

Convened by the provost last fall, and drawing from initial input received from more than 1,000 participants in a preparatory listening tour of academic units, student groups and student support staff, the committee has drafted goals and learning outcomes to define the common purpose of a 91¸£ÀûÉç undergraduate education and to provide common educational touch points to all 91¸£ÀûÉç students, regardless of their degree program.Ìý

The committee now seeks further input from faculty, staff and students before revising its proposal, which will be submitted for further review and faculty approval in fall 2022.
