From Press Release: "To succeed in today’s global economy, college graduates will need much more cross-disciplinary knowledge—in science, global cultures, technology, and society; an expanded set of advanced skills, including in communication, teamwork, and analytic reasoning; and much more practice in applying what they learn to real-world problems.
Those are among the conclusions of College Learning for the New Global Century, a new report released today by the National Leadership Council for Liberal Education and America’s Promise (LEAP), a ten-year initiative convened by the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) to bring together high-level business, education, labor, philanthropy, and policy leaders to chart a way forward for higher education in the 21st century. The new LEAP report identifies essential aims, learning outcomes, and guiding principles for a 21st century college education, and calls on colleges and universities to re-map the curricula so that all fields of study help students acquire a set of “essential learning outcomes.” Source: AAC&U
