Buffalo State is preparing to offer a new general education program – General Education 2023 (GE23) - beginning with students who enter the college Fall 2023.
Students in the IF 2014 program (fall 2014–spring 2022) will remain in the IF 2014 program. IF 2014 courses will keep the IF 14 designation, and if approved for GE 23, the courses will include GE 23 designation.
Approval Process for Inclusion in General Education 2023:
If a course was not previously approved for IF 14, the course approval process will follow the normal curricular process. At this time, no new courses will be accepted into Intellectual Foundations 2014 as the College Senate Curriculum Committee will not consider. https://dailybulletin.buffalostate.edu/curricular/if-14-proposal-submissions-new-general-education-program-1?month=2022-10&var=2022-10-27
In order to quickly review courses that have previously been approved for IF 14 for inclusion in GE23, the College Senate and President have approved the following approval process:
If it is a course previously approved for inclusion in IF 14, associate deans will submit to the College Senate Curriculum Committee (CSCC) via an email attachment (in place of the curriculum management system) for review by an ad hoc committee made up of members of the CSCC and the Senate Intellectual Foundations Oversight Committee (SIFOC):
The above documents for previously approved IF 14 courses that want to be included in General Education 2023 for Fall 2023 must be submitted your associate dean November 18, 2022.
Note, the review of courses will prioritize 100-200 level courses.
