Board of General Studies
The Board of General Studies is an administrative agency authorized by the Senate that does not report to any Senate committee, but instead reports to the Provost. The Board of General Studies:
- solicits courses and curricular proposals designed to satisfy General Education requirements from all colleges and departments of the University;
- reviews, approves, and authorizes courses and curricular proposals for purposes of General Education; and
- evaluates the courses and curricula it has approved.
- in consultation with deans and chairs, provides for and approves "challenge" mechanisms for Basic Skills requirements.
- the Board considers petitions from programs for relief from the fifty-one semester hour General Education requirement.
The Board of General Studies consists of twelve members:
- eight teaching faculty (representing eight colleges),
- two students,
- the Associate Vice President for Undergraduate Studies,
- and the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Studies (Curriculum).
The current BOGS Chair is Bob Cooper, the Associate Vice President for Undergraduate Studies.
