Graduate Council Process - The Graduate council has elected a curriculum committee that is responsible for reviewing and approving program and course additions, changes and deletions on behalf of the Graduate Council. This C&I Committee reviews curriculum from a university-wide perspective and considers, among other things:

  • The clarity of the proposal
  • The appropriateness and value of the curriculum as graduate-level experiences
  • Any potential impact of the curriculum offered by one department on other departments
  • Whether all departments agree to participate in programs that list courses offered by multiple departments

This committee functions independently of the Graduate Council, will report its actions to the Graduate Council, and will seek the advice of the larger council before taking action on matters that are likely to have significant cross-university implications.
