The Complete MavEd Proposal

  1. UNO
  2. General Education
  3. The Complete MavEd Proposal

Here is the approved, official, complete MavEd proposal. It outlines the vision, structure, and goals of a curriculum designed to help all students develop the transferable skills, civic responsibility, and interdisciplinary thinking needed for personal, professional, and community success. While the full proposal serves as the foundational document, the rest of this website is designed to help “break open” its content — offering clear explanations, guiding questions, practical tools, and examples that bring the proposal to life. Whether you’re a faculty member revising a course, an advisor guiding students, or a staff partner supporting implementation, you’ll find resources here to help you translate the MavEd vision into meaningful action.
