Design Principles

Universal Expectations for the Grizz Core Curriculum 

As it has been developing these Grizz Core proposals, the GEPRAHC has also been working on developing certain design principles or universal expectations for the curriculum. Through the Grizz Core sequence, we want students to acquire the tools needed to thrive in their academic and professional studies. At its core, we believe learning should be meaningful, relevant, and fun. We aim to spark student curiosity and imagination through engaging and timely coursework. We will introduce them to OU’s campus and resources, as well as new perspectives and experiences. And we will provide them with opportunities to learn and work in the company of others. Whether personally or professionally, our aim is to set students up for future success. 

While the rules and design principles remain a work-in-progress, you can review some of our expectations for the Grizz Core in this document.
