    SUGGESTION for a future AGSC meeting discussion: Invite administrators from the various universities who have recently gone through a major general education (core) program revisions and have them discuss/answer the following:

    1. What changes have you made recenlty in your general education program? How different is it from AREAs I-V that the AGSC created? What was your basic reasoning behind the change?
    2. What impact has this change had on your native students? What impact do you think it will have on transfer students as they follow current AGSC approved transfer guides? What ways are you helping them transfer without loss of credit, time or money? Are you still honoring the AGSC approved transfer guides? How are you accomplishing this?


    INSTITUTIONS THAT WE ARE AWARE OF WHO HAVE RECENTLY MADE MAJOR CHANGES IN THEIR GENERAL EDUCATION (CORE) PROGRAMS:

    • The University of Alabama - LINK 1, LINK 2
    • University of Alabama at Birmingham - LINK 1, LINK 2
    • Jacksonville State University - LINK 1, LINK 2
    • Troy University is currently re-thinking and re-designing their general ed program.
      NO PUBLIC INFORMATION AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME.
