General Education Committee

The General Education Committee is composed of one elected representative from each academic unit. The deans of the college, professional schools, and the library are ex-officio members.

The Committee reports to the Faculty senate. The Committee is responsible for the management and assessment of the General Education Program. The Committee is responsible for reviewing all courses suggested for inclusion in the General Education Curriculum. The Committee determines if the courses included in the General Education Curriculum contribute to the goals of general education as they are stated in the USC Upstate Academic Catalog. It may also review the General Education Curriculum to determine if the curriculum meets the objectives established by the faculty of the university. In addition, the Committee makes recommendations to the Faculty Senate on the consequences of any change in general education course requirements.
