About
The Core Curriculum Committee is responsible for the ongoing development, implementation, and assessment of an effective and meaningful core curriculum. Responsibilities include approval of courses for all components of the core curriculum, and assessment of their effectiveness.

This committee advises the Regional Chancellor and the Regional Vice Chancellor for Academic and Student Affairs, and reports to the Faculty Senate on the development of future general education programs at the university and provide continuous assessment of the general education program.
