IUPUI General Education Core (30 credits) PUL 1: Core Communication (6 cr) PUL 1&2: Analytical Reasoning (6 cr) PUL 5: Cultural Understanding (3 cr) Principles of Undergraduate Learning Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences (9 cr) Life/Physical Sciences (6 cr) PUL 4: Intellectual Breadth & Adaptiveness http://uc.iupui.edu/UndergraduateEducation/GeneralEducationCurriculum/GeneralEducationCore.aspx
What’s New? • Beginning in Fall, 2014, the IUPUI General Education Core will apply to all beginning students (including transfer students that fail to complete the 30-credit hour core at their prior institution) • Students transferring internally from an IU campus (or from a Purdue campus to SCI or E&T) should be permitted to complete the core begun at their prior institution to facilitate progress toward degree goals
Coming Soon…..UNDI Course-to-Competency Articulation • Office of Undergraduate Admissions is developing processes for reviewing 100- and 200-level UNDI transfer courses and articulating them with general education competencies • Rules were articulated by faculty and admissions staff will be trained to make equivalency decisions. When a decision cannot be made, the most proximal department at IUPUI will be consulted
33 Newly-Approved Courses (2014) • Analytical Reasoning (Other) • Life/Physical Sciences
Academic Policies on General Education • Codified in December 2013 (see gened.iupui.edu) • Key decisions: • Courses apply to only one list and cannot move across lists (competency lists should be consistent at general education and baccalaureate requirement levels) • Course approvals apply retroactively • 3 course (9 credit) limit on courses that can apply to both program and general education requirements (except if student is pursuing double major, minor, or certificate) • General philosophy – do no harm/help student to attain degree goals
HEA 1348-2014 – Degree maps must be offered to all students at public institutions beginning with first-time full-time students first entering in AY 2013-15. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQRioM0Uct0&feature=youtu.be
For Students Who Are Not Sure…. • 5 Meta-Majors have been developed and coded for first year:
Status Report • Degree maps (if validation process is smooth) SHOULD be viewable by students on June 2. • If things are not smooth, there could be a delay. • Helpful to provide paper copy of Year 1 (semester 1 + 2) courses as backup • Critical that credits add to 30 in first year • State aid will be withdrawn if 30 credits are not completed successfully • iGPS system: This fall, students should be able to import a degree map into their Planner. iGPS will provide feedback to student on plan as credits are earned. See Advising Systems Roadmapfor an overview of this and other emerging systems.
