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.
