Working Group II/Subworking Group 1: Educational Offerings and General Education
Charge
Subworking Group 1 is charged with review of the university’s undergraduate educational offerings and its general education curricula to determine compliance with Standards 11 and 12. With reference to the context of these standards, Subworking Group 1 will analyze evidence of the substantive changes that have taken place in connection with our educational offerings over the past 10 years and especially since the Periodic Review Report of 2003. The group will analyze evidence of the kinds of programs and learning resources that are particularly important to the university, for example, as demonstrated by significant new programs and by enrollment trends, and the strengths, opportunities, and challenges constituted by these programs that short-term planning, as exemplified in the work of the Task Force on Transforming Undergraduate Education and in the work of the implementation committees connected with the new School of Arts and Sciences, has addressed, and thenreview evidence for indications of educational issues that longer-term planning should address.

Working Group II/Subworking Group 2: Related Educational Activities
Charge
Subworking Group 2 is charged with review of selected aspects of those related educational activities which MSCHE defines, under the rubric of Standard 13, as “institutional programs or activities that are characterized by particular content, focus, location, mode of delivery, or sponsorship.” The focus of its review should be an analysis of their function with respect to enhancement of undergraduate education. Specifically, Subworking Group 2 will review prebaccalaureate certificate programs, experiential learning—both as defined in practices addressed by Standard 13 and as it is more usually practiced at Rutgers through the CASE program, internships, and through other academic programs during matriculation—and distance or distributed learning to determine compliance with appropriate standards and their role in the enhancement of undergraduate education. Subworking Group 2 is also charged with review of postbaccalaureate certificate programs, noncredit offerings, and distance or distributed postbaccalaureate learning to determine consistency with appropriate standards and the university’s mission. Subworking Group 2 is encouraged to identify evidence of how undergraduate education examined in this self-study might benefit from emulation of the best practices, knowledge utilization, and resources of the programs and administrative units connected to the specific related activities it has reviewed.
