Rough Draft of Basic News Story

This is the first draft for the Basic News Story for Writing and News Reporting 3435, September 6, 2011.


Kennesaw State University is one of 19 colleges to receive an "A" for its state of general education from the yearly "What Will They Learn?" report from the American Council of Trustees and Alumni.


The What Will They Learn online newsletter sources KSU about its General Education system saying, "In a series of interrelated courses in the liberal arts and sciences, it provides the opportunity for them to acquire the intellectual skills and knowledge characteristic of educated persons in a diverse, global community. Thus, it forms the basis for success in academic, professional, and personal arenas."

According to What Will They Learn's Website, the ratings are based on Composition, Literature, Foreign Language, U.S. Government History, Economics, Mathematics, and Science.

In an article submitted to KSU Faculty and Staff, Aixa M. Pascual says that the American Council of Trustees and Alumni placed the school in the top 2 percent of the 1,007 Universities studied, including both public and private four-year schools. In this article, KSU President Daniel S. Papp says "This recognition attests to the rigor and breadth of the core curriculum that our undergraduates are required to take. They are getting a high quality, comprehensive education at KSU."
