Research Paper: Liberal and General Education, Learning Experiences, and Assessments by Faculty
Overview
Liberal Arts Education has a long history from classical antiquity to the present. With the 19th-century advent of universities offering academic majors and minors, the concept of general education has emerged. Higher education leaders need to be familiar with these forms of education and how they continue to evolve. These leaders also need to understand how various forms of learning experiences can allow students to demonstrate that they have successfully achieved liberal arts and general education learning outcomes as well as outcomes within a specific discipline. Higher education leaders also need to weigh the extent to which they will require their faculty to assess these types of outcomes.
