New Curriculum

Effective Fall 2018 (PDF)

The General Education curriculum has recently undergone a revision. General Education Task Force II worked for two and a half years on that revision. The task force’s Charge outlines the work of that task force. In December 2015, the Ramapo faculty overwhelmingly voted to recommend approval of the revised program . The Provost accepted that recommendation. The revised curriculum will be implemented over the course of the next couple of years with a target launch date of the fall 2017 semester. The General Education Implementation Team (GEIT) will implement the curriculum. (For answers to frequently – asked questions about the work of the General Education Implementation Team, please see the document at this link: FAQ.) The Vice Provost, who chairs the team’s steering committee, issued a call for faculty volunteers for the faculty and staff working groups.
The working groups  set  outcomes for the established objectives, and GECCo created checklists, supplementary checklists, and syllabus templates to guide course design and approval.  In addition, Deans’ Council and FAEC (the governance working group) established Criteria for General Education Courses.  The GEIT Steering Committee has reviewed an implementation schedule.  The committee’s minutes are archived below:
