Case Study #2 Adams State is looking to incorporate a new general education program. The Williams plan is the best general education plan for Adams State because students will have a better , understanding about the richness of the world, be more likely to get promotions, and many alumni are working in fields with no apparent connection to their undergraduate majors. The first reason as to the Williams plan is better than the Ozawa plan is because it gives better understanding about the richness of the world. In a quote from the Campus Outlook Professor Donald Chan states, “We think that students should get an education here, not just get trained in a technical subject. We want students to graduate with an awareness of how rich this world is and how they can be a part of that richness.” If the students of Adams State incorporate the Williams plan they will be required to take 48 units of general education while the Ozawa plan requires only 21, thus allowing students to broaden their education. The second reason as to why the Williams plan is better for Adams State is because graduates are more likely to get a promotion. A quote from the Campus Outlook from Marjorie Paderewski states, “we’d really like to have it all-people both well trained and well educated. The people with the training do get most of the entry-level jobs. But the people with the education too get most of the promotions. Although, the Ozawa plan will allow graduates to get hired in entry level positions, it is more likely for graduates with more education to get promotions. The final reason why the Williams plan is better is because many alumni are working in fields with no apparent connection to their undergraduate majors. A statement from the Capital Post states, “Many of the alumni, who have been out of college between 5 and 15 years, are working in fields with no apparent connection to their
