Iowa State University Forms Task Force for New Civic Graduation Requirements

Iowa State University's Faculty Senate has established a task force to integrate new state-mandated civic proficiency requirements for undergraduates. House File 2800 requires students to complete three credit hours each in American history and government, effective for those entering after July 1, 2028. The task force will determine how to add these six credits without increasing the total graduation credit count, addressing a significant curriculum change.
