Curriculum Committee
The Curriculum Committee is a standing committee of the Faculty Senate. It makes recommendations to the dean on graduate and undergraduate curricular matters. See the Faculty Senate bylaws for a complete description.
Nine (9) members from different departments elected by College faculty make up the committee. Three members must represent undergraduate programs. Committee members serve on a staggered two-year term.
