Since its inception in 1983, the Kent Core has been critical to the mission of Kent State University. The Kent Core general education curricular requirements touch each of our students as they navigate through their undergraduate experience. For the last several semesters, working groups across the campus system have dedicated efforts to re-envision our Kent Core in a way that creates more meaningful experiences for our learners.
After much hard work, the committees developed three distinct frameworks in alignment with our Kent State mission for the university community to review.
Beginning in April, we will host several virtual forums where each framework will be presented. These virtual events will highlight the history of our re-envisioning process, the guidelines used to create the frameworks, and a variety of interactive ways for you to contribute to the ongoing development as we work together to create a distinct general education program for Kent State.
We are confident that your input and our continued dedication to the process will build a Kent Core curriculum that is distinctive, innovative, exciting to our students, and forward-looking in our disciplines while also aligning with the core values and mission of Kent State. Visit our webpage to find a full list of dates and times for the Re-envisioning the Kent Core Community Forum sessions. No registration is required.
Your voice is critical to the process, and we hope that you will find time to join us at a session!
