The Institute on General Education creates a varied, intellectually
stimulating environment for advancing campus planning in general
education for all two and four-year colleges and universities, and for
state higher education systems as well. The Institute is comprised of
interactive presentations by experienced faculty who have been engaged
in general education reform and with emerging trends in higher
education and student learning. Campus teams will have ample
opportunity to meet one-on-one with these faculty consultants, work
collaboratively within their teams, and to share ideas with the other
campus teams.
 
The Institute Curriculum is designed to provide an ideal environment
for campus planning and extensive time for substantive team work,
interaction with colleagues from other campuses, and private
consultations with resident faculty.
