Next Generation
UNT’s Next Generation History 2610 course (U.S. History to 1865) encourages students to ask questions, make connections and solve problems. As part of a state-funded pilot project to improve learning retention, the course also is being taught at two other universities and two community colleges.
UNT’s faculty constantly strive to find new ways to improve learning and ensure today’s students graduate with the necessary critical thinking and leadership skills. This commitment to student success led to the University’s Next Generation courses, which are at the national forefront of courses being designed in innovative ways to ensure students learn in a class of 150 or 200 or more. Through the hard work and creativity of UNT’s faculty, many basic courses — such as history, literature and math — are being restructured to take advantage of technology in a way that allows large classes to harness the power of small-group and one-on-one instruction. The Next Generation course redesign project is the subject of the UNT Quality Enhancement Plan.
