The General Education Reform Task Force encourages all members of the Pitt community to provide their input through an online survey and upcoming listening sessions.
The task force is initiating a review of the current University-wide student learning outcomes and general education curricula to propose a more cohesive and standardized model for adoption throughout the institution. The objective is to create a curriculum and learning outcomes aligned with the Plan for Pitt that are cohesive, quantifiable, and adaptable, emphasizing the development of student skills such as critical thinking, communication, leadership, data analysis, intercultural and global competency, and collaboration.
To ensure that our efforts are guided by diverse perspectives and active engagement from students, faculty, and staff, we invite everyone to engage with our project through the following avenues.
