The Role of the Center for Civic Excellence
The Center for Civic Excellence is the administrative unit responsible for overseeing and assessing general education at Utah State University.
The Civic Center operates within established faculty governance processes, including review and approval through the University Curriculum Committee and the Educational Policies Committee. It works in partnership with departments and colleges to coordinate curriculum, maintain shared learning outcomes and guide continuous improvement.
The Civic Center does not alter credit totals or transfer policy. Its role is to support coherence and coordination across the university-wide program.
