Andy Borst – A.S. Degree/Compact Agreement
Andy Borst brought information on the new Associate of Science (AS) degree which is to take effect this fall. The old AS degree, when transferred to WIU, would waive our Gen Ed (as does the Associate of Arts
(AA) degree). The new AS contains one less course in the Humanities & Fine Arts, one less course in
Social and Behavioral, one additional course in Math, and one additional course in physical or life science.
Under our current catalog policy, both the AA and AS (including the new version) would waive our Gen
Ed.
Andy presented information on to how five other Illinois Public Universities are reacting. One (NIU) is accepting the new AS. Four (EIU, ISU, UIC, UIUC) are not.
We have to decide whether to keep the current policy or instead indicate that the new AS does not waive our Gen Ed. If we go with the latter, students who transfer with the new AS could fulfill the IAI GECC and would not necessarily have to take our multi-cultural or human well-being requirement. CAGAS member took a straw vote to express their preferences and the majority voted to not allow the new AS to waive our Gen Ed. We agreed with EIU’s language that “we will recognize the new AS, but students will need to complete the missing general education courses….”
CAGAS felt that the issue should be sent to the Faculty Senate Executive Committee and likely the General
Education Council.
