New General Education Curriculum

The IDEAs in Action curriculum, endorsed by the UNC-Chapel Hill Faculty Council on April 12, emphasizes the first-year experience, key "focus capacities" and experiential learning.
After a three-year process involving hundreds of faculty, students, staff and other key stakeholders, Carolina will have a new General Education curriculum for undergraduates beginning in fall 2021.
All undergraduates entering Carolina spend their first two years in the College of Arts & Sciences as they complete their General Education requirements – the ideas and capacities every student is required to master regardless of major.
The new IDEAs in Action curriculum – IDEA stands for Identify, Discover, Evaluate and Act – was endorsed by the UNC-Chapel Hill Faculty Council on April 12. It will replace the Making Connections curriculum adopted in 2006.
