NewCu Discussion Forums
Dear Colleagues,
The Task Force on the Curriculum for the New American University has
moved on from general principles to a series of learning outcomes and
will be discussing early drafts of those outcomes and listening for
new input from the university community at several open forums.
Conceptualization of these outcomes (listed below) is still in process;
brief descriptions will be available on the Newcu website on Friday
(www.asu.edu/provost/newcu/outcomes.html).

- Self-awareness
- Technology
- Transnational and global perspective
