Welcome to Project IGELS
The national project for the Improvement of General Education Life Science courses (IGELS) is a collaborative network of life scientists and life science educators providing support and mentorship for “non-major” biology instructors.

Survey
We greatly value your perspectives, and we need your help!
Faculty who teach undergraduate life science courses to non-science majors, play an incredibly important role in our society. These courses may be the only opportunity these students have to learn essential information and gain skills necessary for their future filled with environmental, health, scientific, and technological issues.
We greatly value faculty’s perspectives, and if you teach undergraduate life science courses to non-science majors, we need your input! The IGELS (Improvement of General Education Life Science courses) project, through an NSF award (2126154), is investigating what impact the biology education report, Vision and Change (AAAS, 2009), has had on select life science/biology instructors. Even if you have NOT read the document, your input is valuable.
We have developed a brief survey, and your answers will help shape effective and relevant professional development opportunities for instructors of General Education Life Science (GELS) courses.
