GEC & GEAC Information

The General Education Committe (GEC) and the General Education Assessment Committee (GEAC) were standing committees that were in existence and regularly met from 2010 until December 2023. As of January 2024, their responsibilities are now overseen by a combined committee: the General Education Program & Assessment Committee (GEPAC)

GENERAL EDUCATION COMMITTEE (GEC)

The General Education Committee (GEC) was a standing committee reporting to the University Curriculum Committee (UCC). According to the UCC bylaws, the "primary purpose of the GEC will be to make recommendations about both new and existing courses to be included in the General Education curriculum." Any changes to the General Education Program will be recommended by the GEC to the UCC, which retains final approval. The GEC  established its own set of bylaws and operating procedures.

The membership of the GEC consisted of eight faculty members (one from each of the four undergraduate colleges and another four elected at large), the Provost or Designee, and one student.

The membership of the GEAC consisted of eight faculty members (one from each of the four undergraduate colleges and another four elected at large), one academic Dean, a representative from the Office of Assessment, the chair of the GEC, the Provost or Designee, and one student.
