University Curriculum Committee

The Curriculum Committee, a University Senate committee, rules on all curricular matters, including the approval of new courses, approval of changes in existing courses, deletion of courses, and changes in degree programs or minors and curriculum models. All course descriptions and curriculum models appearing in the University Bulletin must be reviewed and approved by the committee. Graduate courses are first approved by the Graduate Council, then by the Curriculum Committee. The committee is charged to "recommend approval or disapproval of requests for undergraduate and graduate curriculum changes." It also reviews "overall curriculum patterns and course content of the instructional program other than the University Core Curriculum and [recommends] to the Senate curriculum changes needed by the University." [Faculty Handbook, 2:8. Section 12]
