SAS Curriculum Review

The faculty of the School of Arts and Sciences will vote on a general education curriculum and corresponding degree requirements for the College of Arts and Sciences at its regular meeting on April 19, 2005. This vote comes four and a half years after the School launched the Pilot Curriculum, an experiment designed to explore certain alternatives to the existing curriculum with a subset of its entering classes beginning in fall of 2000.

The proposed new curriculum is based on lessons learned from the Pilot Curriculum experiment, particularly from comparisons of the academic programs of pilot students with programs of students enrolled in the regular curriculum. A copy of the proposal along with additional information about the curriculum review initiative can be found at: www.sas.upenn.edu/faculty/Curriculum_Review/.
