General Education Ad Hoc

GE Ad Hoc 2016-17

Program Learning Outcomes for the GE program

The CSUDH GE Ad hoc committee's charge was to develop Program Learning Outcomes for the GE program. The committee updated the Goals and Outcomes and incorporated language from the CSUDH Institutional Learning Outcomes.

Please keep in mind, like any set of program learning outcomes, these outcomes are very general and are not necessarily in measurable terms.

We hope to hear your suggestions in the comments page of the Senate web site by following the link below. Please let us know your thoughts and concerns about these general education program learning outcomes.

  • EO 1100 currently directs the basics of GE, advising the campuses of the minimum number of units in the various areas and the distribution of courses across the disciplines.
  • EO 1100 also directs all campuses to map their GE Program Learning Outcomes to the American Association of Colleges and Universities LEAP Essential Learning Outcomes.
