I guess we're not supposed to help you?
- High numbers of General Studies majors in the college were questioned by upper administration
- Advisors became overwhelmed by the numbers of General Studies students they were working with because of the extra time needed for this type of student
- Shouldering the load of General Studies for multiple colleges whose students were not excelling within their own college
Looking for a solution...
- Building a framework to clarify the college's vision for General Studies
- Advisors can use this tool to objectively advise students regarding the General Studies option in the College of Education and Human Services (CEHS)
General Studies Admission Criteria
- Current major within the College of Education
- Admit or Readmit
- Remedial Admission (Aggie Prep)
- Have completed 21 credits in CEHS
- Have completed 60 total credits (University Requirement)
- Have completed USU 2.0 GPA or higher (University Requirement)
Putting the Framework into Practice.
- Are there exceptions to the rule?
- Benefits to Advisors = less guilt
- The time invested in General Studies major planning is decreased
- Upper Administration is now aware of the size and scope of these "homeless" students
