Adding New Courses to General Education Curriculum

Faculty members who wish to submit a course for inclusion into a General Education category need to submit their course for formal review. Courses in prefix-driven categories are automatically added to the General Education curriculum. The review and approval process then depends upon the General Education category: Some categories are reviewed and approved at the EPC and Dean/Director level, then forwarded to the General Education committee for addition of the course to the Gen Ed website and Degree Audit. Other categories are reviewed and approved at the EPC and Dean/Director level, but then continue to the Gen Ed Committee and the APRC in case of a tie.
