About the LIB 100 Co-Curriculum
About the LIB 100 Co-Curriculum
Grand Valley State University recognizes that part of embracing the mission of liberal education means students also need to understand liberal education in order to fully claim its benefits. The Liberal Studies Department and the Brooks College of Interdisciplinary Studies, therefore added, starting in fall 2005, forty-two additional sections of Introduction to Liberal Education (LIB 100) to the university’s class schedule.
We, along with the admissions office, advising faculty, and student affairs, encourage first year students to select LIB 100 in their first or second semester. Faculty members from various disciplines teach these courses.
The co-curriculum is modeled after the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) Liberal Education and America’s Promise (LEAP) essential learning outcomes.
“Liberal Education and America’s Promise (LEAP) is an initiative that champions the value of a liberal education—for individual students and for a nation dependent on economic creativity and democratic vitality. The initiative focuses campus practice on fostering essential learning outcomes for all students, whatever their chosen field of study“
