The Liberal Arts Program Committee
"The Liberal Arts Program Committee (LAPC) is a standing committee of the Eastern Connecticut State University Senate. The LAPC is concerned with the program, procedures, and policies relating to the program of general education of students at Eastern.

Concerns of the Committee include leadership for the program, approval and oversight of courses to serve general education, and the categorization of courses within the program. The Committee works closely with senate committees, academic officers, department chairs, academic program directors, and administrators.

The committee is composed of nine voting members. Five members are elected by the University Senate on a rotating basis for terms of three years. These are one each from Humanities (Visual Arts, Performing Arts, English, Modern and Classical Languages), Social Sciences (History, Economics, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology), Natural Sciences and Mathematics (Biology, Environmental and Earth Sciences, Physical Sciences, Math and Computer Sciences), Education and Professional Studies, and the administrative faculty. Additional members are a representative of the Senate, and the Chairs or designees of Academic Affairs, Curriculum and Academic Program Review committees."
