OLD GE CURRICULUM
REVISED GE CURRICULUM
CMO 59, s. 1996 /There are currently
several GECs.
CHED GEC-A for students majoring
in humanities, social sciences, or
communication.
CHED GEC-B for students majoring in
the sciences, engineering, and a few
other majors.
There are also GECs for nursing
students, education students, etc.
In effect there is no single GEC,
because many Technical Panels
impose their own GE subjects.
Required Core Courses (5)
Applied Math
Contemporary History
Creative Communications
Environmental Science
Ethics
Integrating Courses (2)
Electives (5)
According to the HEI priorities
Suggested by Curriculum Summit:
* Mathematics: (beyond Intermediate Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry) add
Advanced Algebra, Business Math, Calculus /
* Science (experiment-based, inquiry-based, research intensive); Inorganic
Chemistry, Anatomy, Physiology; see the curriculum developed by NISMED
* Culture: see NCCA curriculum by PCEP (Phl Cultural Education Program)
* Entrepreneurship, ASEAN culture and history, etc.

No one sews a piece of un-shrunk cloth on an old
garment; if he does, the patch tears away from it,
the new from the old, and a worse tear is made.
And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; if
he does, the wine will burst the skins, and the wine
is lost, and so are the skins; but the new wine is for
fresh skins. (Mk. 18: 21-22)
Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat
falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone;
but if it dies, it bears much fruit. (Jn. 12:24)
