FSCUE Curriculum Subcommittee

Members

Charge

Revised and approved by FSCUE, September 10, 2024

The general charge to the Curriculum Subcommittee is to make certain that course and program actions meet any applicable overall university standards and ensure that any actions that have effects beyond a single school or College receive the appropriate discussion. The Curriculum Subcommittee will:

  1. Review course and program actions that cross school boundaries, and make certain that feedback is solicited about such actions and that information about them is made available to every school that might feel their effects;
  2. Establish a mechanism for information sharing across schools about course and program actions that directly affect only a single school;
  3. Act as the undergraduate curriculum committee for courses from non-Undergraduate Program Faculty (UPF) units, after review for comment by at least one UPF school or the College as determined by the Associate Provost for Curriculum, and for undergraduate courses originating in the Division of Student Affairs; 
  4. Review new curricular programs, majors, etc.;
  5. Approve Unified General Education Requirement (UGER) course designations for each component except Disciplinary Communication and Capstone Experiences, providing review and feedback on the latter two, approval being a decision by the UPF school or the College responsible for the degree program in which the unit offering the course falls;
  6. Review the learning Outcomes Assessment of the new Unified General Education Requirement  that will be conducted by relevant administrative offices and faculty, and report findings and make recommendations for any changes to FSCUE;
  7. Review and recommend general curricular policies on issues such as transfer and Advanced Placement credit (note that specific decisions on these issues are generally left to the discretion of individual departments);
  8. Consider any general curricular policy issues that may arise and make recommendations to FSCUE
  9. Identify a non-administrative faculty member approved by FSCUE to serve as co-Chair
