Approved recommendations from Spring 2004 LAC Assessment Subcommittee
with follow up from Spring 2005 Subcommittee

1. Review the LAC purpose statement for clarity, currency, and relevancy.

The purpose statement has been in place since 1993. There is no record of this being reviewed since that time.

Action Spring 2005: The purpose statement was reviewed. The purpose statement contained reference to two of the five life preparation concepts. Recommendation: The statement be revised to reflect all life preparation concepts.

Approved Statement: The Liberal Arts Core curriculum is designed to ensure that graduates of Charleston Southern University have achieved a capacity for values and ethics, communication, leadership, service, and wellness. This derives from the graduates’ ability to articulate capably a basic understanding of human history, culture and relationships, the arts, literature, mathematics and natural sciences, and to reflect upon these in terms of a Christian vision of life.

2. Review the LAC goals and required courses for clarity, currency, relevancy, and breadth.

The current LAC goals and courses have been in place since 1993. There is no record of the goals, and therefore the courses, being reviewed since that time. The current core curriculum has been in existence since 1985. It was first titled Basic Studies which changed to Liberal Arts Core in 1998.

Action Spring 2005:
The goals and courses in the LAC to meet the goals were reviewed. Recommendation: Delete the Wellness goal. As a life preparation concept, wellness is listed in the proposed new purpose statement.

Approved Goals
The Liberal Arts Core Curriculum has been developed to implement the Mission, Vision, and Five Life Preparation Concepts of the University by fulfilling the following goals in the academic life of the students:

1. Christian World View: Students achieve an understanding of the Christian vision of the world, along with the nature and destiny of humanity. (RELI 111 or 112)
2. Communication: Students become skilled practitioners in the art, science, and technology of communication. (ENGL 111, ENGL 112, COMM 110 or 212, COIN 209 or EDUC 221)
3. Culture: Students become well grounded in the development of western culture and are introduced to at least one other major culture. (HIST 101 or 102 or 103, RELI 111 or 112)
4. Fine Arts: Students understand the diverse ways in which the human experience is conceived and communicated through artistic form. (ART 201 or 202 or MUSI 171 or 371)
5. Literature: Students explore the human condition through great works of literature. (ENGL 201 or 202, WRLD 213 or SPAN 213 or FREN 213 or FREN, SPAN language course or any other foreign language at the 200 level)
6. Mathematics and Natural Science: Students understand the fundamental principles of the natural sciences, the empirical method, and mathematics. (MATH 105 or 111 or higher, two different lab sciences chosen from BIOL, CHEM, GEOL, PHYS)
7. Social Sciences: Students understand individual and human relationships in groups, communities, and societies. (ECON 211 or 212 or PSYC 200 or SOCI 201 or EDUC 201 or KINE 201 + one additional HIST or POLI)

3. Review LAC goal #8 Wellness in relation to the required LAC courses.

The goal for Wellness states that “students begin a life-long development of physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being.”

The LAC distribution of courses does not reflect that all students complete a course or courses where this goal is specifically addressed. While many students take KINE 201 Personal and Community Health and many freshmen take GNED 101 Freshman Seminar which specifically addresses wellness issues, there is no current LAC course requirement for all students. Consider deleting the goal or examine whether a required course/s should be included for all students.

Action Spring 2005:
The LAC distribution of courses does not reflect that all students complete a course or courses where this goal is specifically addressed. Recommendation: Delete the Wellness goal. As a life preparation concept, wellness is listed in the proposed new purpose statement. See #2 above.

4. In order to better reflect the goals of the Liberal Arts Core curriculum and the organizational structure of CSU academics, consider modifying the categories for distribution of courses. This should be done concurrently with #1, #2, and #3 above. Input should be obtained from faculty through the Faculty Surveys to assist with this consideration.

The current distribution has three categories of Communication and Fine Arts, Social Studies, and Natural Sciences. From an assessment perspective, the goals and academic areas are not clearly reflected in these categories. For example: (1) Social Studies is not a term typically used for courses in Higher Education. (2) The concept of Humanities is not delineated in the current categories. CSU has a College of Humanities and Social Sciences.

Action Spring 2005:
Recommendation: The University appoint a Task Force/Special Committee to review general education and especially the LAC. The Task Force/Special Committee would consist of faculty representatives from the academic areas and other areas on campus that have direct input into the general education areas such as the Student Success Center and Student Affairs. The Task Force/Special Committee would be given a designated period of time, i.e. two years, for the review and recommendations to the University and the Curriculum Committee regarding general education and the LAC. The Curriculum Committee would maintain its role through a small subcommittee of assessing the LAC and reporting the results and any recommendations to the full Committee.

5. Conduct faculty surveys at least every three (3) years related to their opinion and assessment of the Liberal Arts Core curriculum. This would begin in Spring 2004 with a follow-up in Spring 2005.

Action Spring 2005:
The faculty surveys were first done in Fall 2004 with the results included in the LAC Assessment Data Summary in the appropriate areas. The comments and other quantifiable results were shared with the Curriculum Committee, Academic Council, and Deans Council. If a Task Force/Special Committee is appointed as recommended in #3 above, the faculty survey data would be used as part of their review.

One area on the faculty surveys that appear to demand attention is question #6 on Faculty Survey (2). The question is “Students understand the purpose and goals of the Liberal Arts Core curriculum.” Based on a 1-4 scale with 1 being Strongly Disagree, 71.4% of the faculty responding to the survey Disagree/Strongly Disagree that students understand the purpose and goals of the LAC.

Recommendation:
1. All Freshman Seminar sections include a class about the LAC. Some professors indicate that this is done. It is not done on a consistent basis. A learning module might be helpful for all professors to use.
2. LAC overview be included in new student orientations.
3. All courses that are listed in the LAC categories indicate in the course syllabus that the course meets the LAC requirement, the category, and which goal it meets.
4. At the beginning of a course that meets an LAC requirement, the course instructor review the LAC requirement and how the course meets the goals of the LAC.
5. Put this issue on a CSU faculty agenda with encouragement for all faculty/advisors to review the purpose and goals of the LAC.

6. A subcommittee of the Curriculum Committee will be appointed on a yearly basis by the Chair of the Curriculum Committee in consultation with the Provost to be responsible for the LAC Assessment Plan. The subcommittee will be composed of Curriculum Committee members and other faculty.

Action Spring 2005:
Recommendation: The subcommittee would continue in relation to the Assessment Plan. For a long term, intense review, it is recommended that the University appoint a Task Force/Special Committee to review general education and especially the LAC. The Task Force/Special Committee would consist of faculty representatives from the academic areas and other areas on campus that have direct input into the general education areas such as the Student Success Center and Student Affairs. The Task Force/Special Committee would be given a designated period of time, i.e. two years, for the review and recommendations to the University and the Curriculum Committee regarding general education and the LAC.
