Creating a General Education Syllabus

It is important for students to understand the connection between your course and the General Education Program. We encourage you to include the following elements on your General Education Course Syllabus:

  • General Education Program Description:
    "General Education provides students with a broad, common foundation of study upon which to build an undergraduate education. The program develops skills of oral and written communication,logical and scientific reasoning, computer usage, and quantitative analysis. Courses in general education explore ways of knowing in the various disciplines through examination of significant historical, social, cultural, and scientific issues."

  • General Education Course Category and the Shared Learning Outcome(s) for your particular course
