California Room, Faculty Center

UCLA’s commitment to the improvement of its General Education (GE) curriculum has been singled out in the 2007 report of the University of California Commission on General Education in the 21st Century, which noted that “the combination of significant budgetary resources, aggressive leadership, and an atmosphere of campus support has enabled UCLA to emerge as something of a model among the [UC] campuses for innovation in general education.” Panel members will discuss UCLA’s ten year effort to provide undergraduates with a common foundational GE experience that strengthens their intellectual skills and exposes them to a wide breadth of scholarly inquiry, integrative learning opportunities, ethical issues, and sensitivity to difference.
