Here is the agenda for our next meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 28. We will meet online by Zoom at 3:30 p.m.
- Approval of minutes from 9/14/22
- Note for the council: Faculty submitted more than 120 applications for the four open menus.
Social and Behavioral Sciences Menu
Cultural Literacy
Question for the council: Do you prefer to hear individual applications to the Arts and Humanities menu for history and English courses that are already on the Humanities menu (HIST 100-299, ENGL 200-299, foreign language literature), or are you comfortable including them now and addressing their assessment in the spring with other required courses?
2023-24 General Education Menu Applications
UGEC has approved criteria for faculty to apply to add courses to each of the general education menus, which include Arts and Humanities, Cultural Literacy, Life and Physical Sciences, and Social and Behavioral Sciences.
.
2022-23 Roadmap for Curriculum Revision
UGEC will approve courses to populate the general education menus in early to mid-fall. Faculty, the Registrar’s Office, and the Provost’s Office will work together in late fall to revise all undergraduate degree programs offered by the university to reflect the newly completed general education plan. College councils will review and approve the degree plans in early spring. The Abilene Undergraduate Academic Council (AUAC, formerly known as UUAC) and the CGPS Academic Council will review and approve all revisions to the degree plans throughout the spring.
.
Who Should Apply
Our new gen ed requirements have four menus on which faculty can apply to have courses appear. All menus begin as a blank slate; there are currently no courses approved for any of these menus. Even if you have a course that has appeared on a similar menu, you need to apply to have the course added to the new general education options.
.
Proposal Flow
Proposals for UGEC should receive a vote from department/program faculty and be signed by the Abilene department chair or Dallas program director. College councils and deans do not review general education proposals, so they advance directly to UGEC from the discipline.
.
Deadlines
All proposals for courses that will appear on the menus in the 2023-24 catalog are due to the Registrar’s Office by Sept. 16, which is the end of the third week of the fall semester. Proposals will be reviewed for completion in the order that they arrive, and they will be added to council agendas in the order that they’re cleared for completion. In other words, the earlier that you submit, the earlier you’ll have a council decision.
.
Submission
Compile an approval chart, the appropriate menu application, and a course syllabus into a single document and send it to Karen Witemeyer in the Registrar’s Office at kmw03d@acu.edu.
