The Curriculum Committee has the authority to recommend to the Faculty Senate policies pertaining to the undergraduate curriculum. The Committee recommends to the Senate: majors, minors, new and unique course sequences, and certification programs; and changes in title of academic disciplines and of curricular programs.
The Committee approves any changes in majors, minors, unique course sequences, and curricular programs; new courses, experimental courses, changes in number, title, credit, description, prerequisites of courses and courses designated as fulfilling general degree requirements. It reports these matters to the Senate for review and for action at the request of any member of the Senate.
The Teacher Education Subcommittee, a subcommittee of the Curriculum Committee, reviews those curriculum and curricular policy matters which are referred to it by the Curriculum Committee, in order to certify that such proposals are consistent with Wisconsin standards for certification, and reports its recommendations to the Curriculum Committee.
