The Committee is to fill three charges by Casper College's accrediting body, the Higher Learning Commission:

• Revised General Education requirements for graduation, none of which may be below 1000 level in any major of any school.
• A statement of the college's goals or intended learning outcomes for all graduates of the college regardless of their degree program.
• A plan for assessing all of these general education goals or intended learning outcomes and using the results of assessment to improve student learning and inform the planning and budgeting process.

The steps in the work of the committee would include (but not necessarily limited to):

• Adoption of a General Education Philosophy.
• Establish General Education learning outcomes for all graduates.
• A plan for assessing the General Education learning outcomes, with the intent of using the data collected from implementing the plan to improve student learning within General Education and inform the planning and budgeting processes.
