Curriculum Committee Purpose
The purpose of this site is to provide the Skyline campus community
with information about the Curriculum Committee, a place to download
up-to-date current curriculum forms, directions for completing these
forms, a list of meeting dates, curriculum deadlines, and meeting
agendas and minutes. One of the most important
responsibilities of community college faculty is the development
of curriculum. Development entails all of the following:
|
|
Developing new programs (degree and
certificate programs of 18 units or more.) |
|
|
Developing new courses to meet program, transfer,
community, or student needs |
|
|
Modifying courses and programs to maintain currency
or to strengthen offerings |
|
|
Deleting courses and programs that are no longer
needed |
Curriculum development is initiated, at the departmental level,
and should include review by department or division faculty in cooperation
with the division dean.
The Curriculum Committee, a standing committee of
the Skyline College Academic Senate, is the college-wide review
body for new programs, new courses, modified courses, and deleted
courses. Although it has other important responsibilities, the committee
currently spends the majority of its time on the above-mentioned
four aspects of the college's curriculum. |
