Description: "Every year, hundreds of small colleges, state schools, and large, research-oriented universities across the United States (and, increasingly, across Europe and Asia) are revisiting their core and general education curricula, often moving toward more integrative models.

This guide seeks to answer these and other questions by providing an overview of and a rational for the recent shift in general education curricular design, a sense of how this shift can affect a faculty member's teaching, and a sense of how all of this might impact course and student assessment"--
