Welcome . . .

to the web site of ETSU's general education program! There's something here for everyone:

• Students and parents can read ETSU's requirements, learn about the benefits of general education and find out how to get person-to-person answers to questions.

• Faculty will find resources for developing and teaching general education courses and advising students about general education requirements.

• Evidence of student success shows how ETSU tracks progress toward its general education goals and presents recent data on what our students are learning. 

• A quote from Merlin offers inspiring words about learning and growing for a lifetime.

A Master Table of Proficiency-Intensive Courses is now available. Check the history of any oral communication-intensive, information technology-intensive or writing-intensive course at ETSU.

Starting fall 2007 HUMT 2310 and 2320, Arts and Ideas I and II, will fulfill the Fine Arts portion of the Humanities and Fine Arts requirement.  Students graduating under the 2007-08 catalog or thereafter may use one of these courses to satisfy this requirement.  Students graduating under earlier catalogs may also use them to satisfy the Fine Arts requirement or (as was previously the case) to meet the Humanities requirement in the Humanities and Fine Arts category. 

ETSU's General Education Advisory Council has revised rules regarding proficiency-intensive course requirements for students with associate degrees, transfer students and re-admission students.

See a presentation on the heart of general education assessment, presented December 11, 2006, at the annual meeting of SACS' Commission on Colleges.
