Join us for an overview of the Interstate Passport, a program that facilitates block transfer of lower division general education based on learning outcomes. Find out who developed it and why, how it works, and how it benefits students and institutions. This webinar may be of particular interest to faculty, deans and provosts interested in issues of transfer and outcomes-based education.
