Curriculum Committee

As set forth in the College ByLaws, the Curriculum Committee is charged with making recommendations on all matters related to curriculum or to educational assessment.  It reviews proposed new courses and programs once they have been approved by the dean of the appropriate school, and makes recommendations to the Provost and Academic Senate.  With the exception of minor changes to courses, it reviews proposed changes to courses and programs in a similar fashion.  

In Spring 2010, the Committee has approved new forms and narrative outlines.
