The plan will be presented at the November Faculty Assembly for faculty approval. The final plan will be forwarded to NCA in December as specified in the NCA reaccreditation report. The second area of improvement will be more challenging. NCA has asked the college to redefine its general education program. We have no way to tie the general studies courses together.
Students see it as something to get out of the way.
We need to rethink what it is that we want our students to get from our general studies program, and then design the program to meet those objectives. Copies are in the vice presi-dents' and deans' offices and library.
