Compliance Question Of The Week
Question:
What do we mean when we say all students will need to fulfill the General Education Requirement in their major?
Answer:
All undergraduate students who matriculate as degree-seeking students at IU Bloomington in or after first summer session 2011 will be required to complete the campus-wide GenEd program prior to graduation with a baccalaureate degree. Some majors incorporated these requirements in the 2010-11 academic year.
· This new curriculum will allow all students to take advantage of the many different course offerings with a special interest in four areas.
· The four areas are arts and humanities, social and historical studies, natural and mathematical sciences, and world languages and cultures.
· The World Languages and Culture requirement can be fulfilled in three ways:
1. Language Study: Students must successfully complete the study of a single GenEd-approved world language through the second semester of the second-year level of college-level course work. International students whose native language is not English may fulfill the foreign language requirement through demonstrated proficiency in their native languages, in accordance with the practice and policies of the College of Arts and Sciences.
2. World Culture: Students must successfully complete at least two courses, for a total of at least 6 credit hours from the list of approved World Culture classes
3. International Experience: To satisfy the International Experience option, students must complete an approved study abroad program or approved study abroad internship of at least six credit hours and at least six weeks abroad in duration (or a combination of programs totaling 6 credit hours; if a combination of programs is chosen, the international experiences must, at a minimum, be three weeks abroad in duration, and the student must earn at least 3 credit hours from the program for it to count as half of the 6-credit-hour requirement.)
· Further, the GenEd Curriculum also includes Shared Goals of intensive writing experience, information fluency, an understanding of diversity in the U.S., and other enriching educational experiences.
· The Common Ground requirements are the same for all undergraduate students, regardless of their school or academic unit.
· Shared Goals are implemented by the schools in ways that complement their degree programs.
Question:
So, what does all of this mean to our student-athletes?
Answer:
· A broader range of courses to choose from and another justification to take classes that might not be completely centered on their chosen major.
· All students will be required to take Finite and/or Calculus for their degree program.
· The World Language / Culture requirement is going to be new to many majors but given there are three different and exciting ways to fulfill it, we are anticipating it to be a great experience for all students.
