General Education Course List Update for Academic Year 2017–2018 with Provisional Assessment Procedures

The General Education Committee submits for approval the following changes to the list of approved General Education courses for Academic Year 2017–2018.

Faculty Senate Document 16-05 adopted the LEAP Essential Learning Outcomes as the official General Education Learning Outcomes of PNW. However PNW remains in the first stages of contemplating how to integrate the ELOs into its academic programs, and into the PNW Core Curriculum. The additions to the lists are contingent upon receipt of additional assessment information that will be required once assessment procedures are approved by the Senate.
