General Education Syllabi Requirements
Approved April 11, 2019
Each General Education course syllabus must include the following purpose statement:
"General education at MSU Billings is designed to initiate students as participants in the ongoing accumulation of human knowledge and understanding. General education courses promote the development of respect for diversity, along with skills in problem solving, critical thinking, and communication necessary for students to become productive and responsible members of their communities."
Further, because each general education course is in a category, and each category has learning outcomes specific to that category, each syllabus must contain the learning outcomes for that category. In addition to the General Education purpose statement and category outcomes, syllabi will also include course-specific outcomes.
