The 课程 will fulfill the new 综合研究要求.
宾州大学公园. — The 通识教育处 has announced this year’s 种子基金 to support the development of Integrative Studies 课程. This is the second round of seed grant awards. Last year, 70 proposals were funded in the first round.
The awarded proposals are representative of a wide range of academic disciplines, and include proposals from faculty at Penn State campuses across the Commonwealth. These 课程 incorporate the integrative thinking and learning objectives laid out by the 通识教育处 and fulfill the new 综合研究要求. Additional financial support for the grants has been provided by the Schreyer Institute for Teaching Excellence and Penn State World Campus. Collaborative support for the awardees will be provided by University Libraries, 用科技教与学, 可持续发展研究所, and the Schreyer Institute for Teaching Excellence.
从2018-19学年开始, first-year students will be required to take six credits of Integrative Studies, and that requirement can be fulfilled either through 域间 or 有关 课程.
The initiative stems from the 教师 Senate’s 2015 approval of the 综合研究要求, with a directive to implement the requirement by summer 2018.
