The initiative outlined in HB 160 aims to facilitate the seamless transfer of students between higher education institutions throughout Kentucky. By emphasizing the importance of both honoring institutional uniqueness and aligning learning outcomes, the goal is to develop a 33-credit hour core transfer component. This effort, driven by the General Education Workgroup, will adapt competencies based on the Essential Learning Outcomes framework established by the AAC&U. A timeline is set for 2012-2013, focusing on collaboration among disciplines including arts, humanities, communications, and the sciences.
