Committee
CHARGE TO THE NEW COMMITTEE
The GE Design Committee (2.0) was charged to devise a new general education program for BYU. The committee’s mission was to build upon the work of the first design committee (GEDC 1.0), take into account feedback from individual faculty and university units about that committee's recommendations, and propose a new GE structure for BYU.

In the fall of 2020, GEDC 2.0 completed their work and turned the proposal over to the Faculty General Education Committee who will refine the proposal and submit it to the University Curriculum Council for approval. If you have questions about or feedback for the redesign process, contact your college FGEC representative.
