Curriculum Committee Charge
The School of Extended & International Education (SEIE) Curriculum Committee reviews and makes recommendations for policies, proposals, courses, and programs that are under the purview of the School of Extended and International Education. The charge of the committee as prescribed by Senate policy 2014-1, shall include but not be limited to:
- Determine the format and required information for all new program and course proposals.
- Discuss and recommend approval or disapproval of all SEIE-related proposals, including but not limited to course proposals, program changes, addition and deletion of courses and programs, program review, and general policies with impact on instruction and learning. Proposals are reviewed for appropriate content, quality, and instructor qualifications. The purpose of the proposal review process is to:
- assess duplication of existing courses/programs in the stateside offerings;
- ensure curricular review and offerings in academic unit;
- assess resources available to sustain program; and
- assess merit and alignment to both the academic mission of SSU and the mission of SEIE.
- Reassign proposals for further review by the appropriate department or school curriculum committee. Please see the curriculum review flowchart for more details.
- Support collaborative initiatives across Sonoma State University and with community partners in our service area.
