Background

Scope and content:

This collection consists of reviews and assessments for many of UGA's major academic programs. These reports date from 1992 through 2012 and were used, in conjuction with other studies, by the Task Force on General Education and Student Learning. This Task Force presented a report (using the earlier data) on how to meet the challenges for undergraduate general education at the University in 2005. In addition to its use by the UGA Administration and the Task Force, these documents also provide researchers with information on the operations of most of the major academic programs found at UGA in the 1990s through the 2000s.

The collection also contains strategic planning records, information on the senior administrators' retreat, and annual reports.
