First-Year Experience

Quality Enhancement Plan

As part of the University's reaffirmation through the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) in 2005, Georgia Southern University submitted a Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP).  Three of the five objectives of the QEP focus on the first year:

• Freshmen will apply behaviors that demonstrate their responsibilities as engaged learners. 
• Freshmen will practice behaviors that lead to lifelong learning.
• Freshmen will evaluate their responsibilities as engaged members in diverse communities.

Through its participation in the Foundations of Excellence® project, the First Year Experience program is helping the larger University community achieve these objectives.  As a part of this process, the FYE program has revised the learning outcomes for the GSU 1210 course to embrace the objectives.  To see the University's webstie on SACS reaffirmation, including the final version of the QEP, click here.
