The School of Undergraduate Studies (UGS) manages the University of Texas at Austin's core curriculum and helps undeclared students internally transfer into a major.[1] In 2008, the School of Undergraduate Studies was officially formed to maintain the University's core curriculum and house undeclared students. In fall 2009, UGS admitted its first cohort of 800 students.[2] Its current Dean is Brent Iverson, appointed in 2013.[3]
Core Curriculum[edit]
UGS is responsible for maintaining the University's core curriculum, which consists of the core curriculum and "Skills and Experiences" flags. All University undergraduate students complete the 42-hour core curriculum, including a "Signature Course" and courses in general education.[4] "Skills and Experiences" flags require students to complete courses related to six subjects: Cultural Diversity in the U.S., Ethics, Global Cultures, Independent Inquiry, Quantitive Reasoning, and Writing.[5]
