The General Education Curriculum at UIS was developed by the General Education Working Group, which was initiated in spring 2002. The committee had two purposes:
To develop a set of courses that would be distinctive enough to appeal to a new small cohort of first-year students and flexible enough to work for transfer students who need to enter the institution at any point in their baccalaureate degree and complete general education requirements with ease; and
To insure that the new curriculum fit well with the institutional mission, heritage, and vision for the future.
In planning, the GEWG recognized the necessity of UIS becoming a full four-year baccalaureate institution. The new curriculum being developed by the GEWG will serve the general education needs of all undergraduate students at UIS.
