By Allison Mayes–
Gen Eds: we’ve all taken them. But just how important are they to our curriculum?
According to the university’s website, “The General Education Program at the University of Louisville fosters active learning by asking students to think critically, to communicate effectively and to understand and appreciate cultural diversity.”
Julia Dietrich of the Dean’s office shared that the U of L faculty votes on the structure of the General Education Program.
“In designing our program we must align with the requirements of our accrediting agency and with the statewide education program,” Dietrich said.
