Education and Curriculum

What alternative educational delivery models will both maintain quality and lower educational delivery costs?

This working group:

• considered and developed recommendations for different models of educational delivery, including: modifications to curriculum and degree programs; modifications on how information is presented and how we interact with students; online and remote instruction; testing out of required courses; reconfiguration of major requirements; limits on the number of units permissible (including Advanced Placement units); year-round instruction; three-year baccalaureate degrees; student: faculty ratios; etc. The pros and cons of each model of educational delivery will be examined, as well as direct and indirect cost considerations.
• considered how the University works in collaboration with K-12, community colleges, California State University, and other partners to achieve the highest quality education possible; and
• considered and examined other models of higher education within the United States and elsewhere, paying particular attention to models that work in research universities, public universities, and land grant institutions.
