General Education Sub-committee

In 2019, the SDBOR assigned the design and implementation of general education assessment plans to each individual institution. To accomplish this, the SDSU General Education Sub-committee was assigned to develop the SDSU General Education Assessment Plan.

The SDSU General Education Sub-committee of the SDSU Academic Affairs Committee is responsible for providing leadership and management of general education. More specifically, the sub-committee (as stated in the Academic Affairs Committee Charter):

  • Reviews general education requirements and recommends revisions as appropriate.
  • Organizes and coordinates efforts to inform students and faculty of the nature, purpose and value of the System General Education Requirements (SGR).
  • Periodically reviews the goals/criteria of courses.
  • Establishes procedures and reviews requests for course additions to the SGR.
  • Conducts a five-year rotating review of courses and educational experiences listed under the SGR.

The membership of the SDSU General Education Sub-Committee includes college representatives from all academic colleges: Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences, Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, Education and Human Sciences, Engineering, Natural Sciences, Nursing, Pharmacy and Allied Health Professions. Members also include a representative from H. M. Briggs Library and the First Year Advising Center. The Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education, Assistant Vice President of Institutional Research and Assessment and Office of Academic Affairs Curriculum and Catalog Coordinator serve as ex officio members. One of the college representatives serves as a liaison to the SDSU Academic Affairs Committee.
