Overlays: University System students who matriculate beginning in Fall 2012 must also complete learning goals in US Perspectives (US), Global Perspectives (GL), and Critical Thinking (CT) as part of his or her core requirements. The US Perspectives (US) and Global Perspectives (GL) are overlaid onto courses in Areas A-E, and a student fulfills these requirements by taking courses in Areas A-E that have also been approved to meet these learning goals. The Critical Thinking (CT) overlay is met through a holistic institutional plan that demonstrates how students who complete Areas A-E will have acquired foundational critical thinking skills. Students who transfer after having completed Areas A–E but without having completed the US, GL, and/or CT requirements must complete any remaining requirements at Georgia College.
