The purpose of this committee is to: (1) Define and uphold the learning outcomes of the general education core. (2) Review courses for the general education core to ensure that courses align with the general education learning outcomes. (3) Recommend courses for General Education approval by the University Committee on Courses and Curricula (UCCC).
