[Alan Carter]

Connie,

Thanks to all on the committee for this! It makes life much easier to lower the total gen eds from 60 to 50.

Good Morning,

The BLC meeting, the past two days, generated a lot of thoughtful discussion regarding BAS general education requirements and the feedback from Instruction Commission.  I appreciated that discussions focused on the purpose of BAS degrees, students, and establishing the most flexibility possible for programs to serve their students.

We spent significant time discussing the feedback from Instruction Commission and during our business meeting, yesterday, voted to present the attached proposed policy to IC.

The document contains two comments and highlights that contain changes BLC would like IC to consider.

  *   Removal of the lab component requirement for natural science distribution
  *   Add 300/400 level distribution coursework to be included in the 20 additional credits of general education requirements (see III, 2, iv.)

Below is a side by side comparison of the current general education policy and the attached policy and requested changes, highlighted.

I want to recognize and thank the BLC Pathways workgroup who spent considerable time, energy and effort in reviewing, modifying and proposing a change to the general education requirements.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.
