The committee reviewed all of the General Education course submissions remaining on its agenda. Those courses approved as submitted will be forwarded to the General Education Course Committee. The remaining General Education proposals will be returned to the departments with instructions to postpone resubmission until after a workshop on developing General Education proposals which will be held in August. Proposals which were not acceptable as submitted needed clarification of how the learning outcomes would be addressed and/or assessed.

The following courses were approved for General Education as noted, effective Fall 2002. CD-1 refers to courses which meet the race/ethnicity cultural diversity requirement. CD-2 refers to all other cultural diversity courses. [A student must have at least one course in the CD-1 area.] No approval is final until the course has been reviewed by the General Education Course Committee.
