Association
for General and Liberal Studies (AGLS)
- "AGLS is the only
national organization dedicated solely to the
advancement of that portion of curriculum known as
general education, including its relationship to
liberal studies. Composed of faculty and
administrators from a wide variety of disciplines and
institutions in higher education, AGLS is a group of
friendly people who believe in the positive impact
that an effective general education/liberal studies
program can have on our students' personal and
professional lives."

Blue About the Crimson Plan for General Education
by Tom Ehrlich, Senior Scholar
We "tend to take
undergraduate education for granted in this country.
This neglect has created a lack of coherence that
would be much improved by addressing the need for a
strong core curriculum."
