AD HOC UGRIC 
UNIVERSITY GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE – Lloyd Burton, Chair, reporting. Two consultants were brought to the University to help the committee focus on what it means to be a graduate of Weber State. A copy of the final report is posted online at: http://www.weber.edu/GraduationCommittee/committee_spring05report.html

The committee developed and endorses the following mission statement and outcomes for General Education at WSU.

General Education Mission Statement and Goals
Weber State University as a comprehensive institution of higher education provides students with a foundation in liberal arts general education.

General Education

The goals of the general education program are that the ideal Baccalaureate Graduate be able to demonstrate competencies in:

Communication

Working with Information

Basic Knowledge of Core Disciplines

Such as demonstrating an understanding and appreciation of:

Social and Cultural Factors

Conclusions and Recommendations

This mission statement and these goals are not necessarily a reflection of the current general education program at Weber State University but represent the committee’s agreement on what they should be. This is the culmination of two and one half years work by two ad hoc committees including the recent survey comments on the ideal baccalaureate graduate. One should keep in mind that the survey comments are not all encompassing. The committee members have carefully considered the survey comments but have also attended conferences, researched literature, sought information from consultants and engaged in lengthy discussions to develop this statement. In addition to the mission statement and goals, a web page is available that can be used to continue informing and gathering comments (URL: http://www.weber.edu/GraduationCommittee/default.html).

The committee completes its charge by presenting these findings and recommendations to the Executive Committee on April 14 and the Faculty Senate on April 21, 2005.

The committee supports the faculty in its continued efforts to improvement the general education program at WSU with the following recommendations:

MOTION
