Liberal Education

UMD approved a new Liberal Education program in the Fall of 2009. An implementation committee was formed in the spring of 2010 and the process of submitting new courses for liberal education designation began in November, 2010 with full implementation of the new program effective fall 2012. Below please find links to materials intended to help guide this change.

Process for Liberal Education Course Submission

The Liberal Education Subcommittee of the Educational Policy Committee will review courses submitted for inclusion in the Liberal Education Program using the following process.

1. Complete the appropriate form(s) listed below.

2. Once the form is complete, faculty members will forward the form to the department head for approval.

3. If the department head approves the course, the form will be forwarded to the dean for approval.

4. If the dean approves the proposal, approved applications should be sent electronically to Nancy Burley at nburley@d.umn.edu for review by the Liberal Education Subcommittee.

The Liberal Education Subcommittee encourages you to consult your collegiate representative(s) with questions or concerns, especially as we begin the process of reviewing and revising the submission process.
