The Association of American Colleges and Universities (AACU) recently published this thirty-two-page report about the General Education for a Global Century (GEGC), a recent project of the AACU's Shared Futures Initiative. This initiative, implemented at thirty-two colleges and universities across the United States, aims to "increase the capacity of colleges and universities to help all undergraduates understand and engage the diversities and commonalities among the world's peoples, cultures, nations, and regions" through curriculum development, faculty professional development, and pilot programs. This report investigates the impact of the GEGC initiative at twenty-four of the thirty-two participating institutions. Participating colleges and universities included both public and private schools as well as two-year and four-year institutions. This report, which can be downloaded in full, allows higher education professionals to learn a bit more about how GEGC was enacted at participating colleges and how these participating institutions accessed the value of the initiative.
