University General Education Milestone and Culminating Experience Requirements

To identify approved courses satisfying these requirements, consult the Faculty Senate General Education Committee web page at https://www.unlv.edu/facultysenate/committees/gen-ed.  

Milestone Experience: The Milestone Experience will orient students to the expected learning outcomes of the major and reinforce the UULOs. Each major program of study will identify and implement a Milestone Experience for their majors that can be in the form of a single course, components of multiple courses, or defined assessable outcomes. The Milestone Experience will be successfully completed in the sophomore or junior year and will include, at a minimum, reinforcement of the (i) Inquiry and Critical Thinking and (ii) Communication UULOs.  More details and information can be found by visiting the milestone information page by navigating to this link: https://www.unlv.edu/provost/gen-ed/milestone.

Culminating Experience: The Culminating Experience is a final review, consolidation, and assessment of the UULOs as well as the learning outcomes of the respective major. Each major program of study will identify and implement a Culminating Experience for their majors. The Culminating Experience can be implemented in a variety of forms. For example, a Culminating Experience might consist of one or more of the following: an original undergraduate research project, a design capstone, developing an e-portfolio of artistic or scholarly work completed over a student’s college career, or a required internship or service learning project with an academic component that requires development and presentation of a report. The Culminating Experience should be completed in the last year prior to graduation.  More details and information can be found by visiting the culminating experience information page by navigating to this link: https://www.unlv.edu/provost/gen-ed/culminating.
