Curriculum Committee
The Curriculum Committee serves as the primary curricular planning body for the faculty, responsible for recommending to the faculty policies and programs that affect the college in general and for reviewing and recommending departmental, interdepartmental, and interdisciplinary programs and policies. The Curriculum Committee also approves new and revised semester and Summer Term courses, General Education Area courses, Writing courses, and First Term and Challenge Seminars. The Curriculum Committee welcomes comments about policies it will be recommending to the Faculty, and about courses that are in review. All comments can be emailed to the full committee at: cc-com@gustavus.edu. See here information about: curriculum committee meeting times and dates and curricular planning meetings and workshops information.
