Revise the General Education categories
¾ UCCPC 5/2/05 APPROVED. At Lloyd Armstrong’s request the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences began
a six-month process of revising the general education categories. It began with a faculty survey, followed by
three separate panels that met concerning the categories. Open faculty hearings were held for the proposed
revisions, and student focus groups also had input. The final version of the revisions was presented to the
General Education Committee, which accepted them. It is hoped that the revised version can be included in the
2005-06 catalogue. At this point, the changes in definition do not affect the assignment of GE credit to courses
either at USC or from elsewhere, although that may be modified in the future.
¾ FOR TODAY’S MEETING: The effective term of the following general education category title changes is
changed to Fall 2005:
Category I: Western Cultures and Traditions
Category II: Global Cultures and Traditions
Category III: Scientific Inquiry
Category IV: Science and Its Significance
Category V: Arts and Letters
Category VI: Social Issues
