School or Division Based Review

3. Curriculum and program proposals will be considered by a designated school- or division-based committee. The Department Chair, Program Director, or other interdisciplinary Proposer (see below), with support and documentation provided by the department faculty and the Dean of the school or college, will attend meetings when the proposal is discussed.
4. The designated school- or division-based committee may vary (in name and composition) according to the organizational structure and size of the school, division, or department that originates the proposal. However, the committee structure and process must comply with any applicable requirements of accrediting agencies. Some examples of current models are shown below:

• Love School of Business: The school-based curriculum committee is designated to review and approve graduate curriculum and program proposals. For proposals originating from a department, approval of the department faculty is required before review by the school-based curriculum committee.
• Dr. Jo Watts Williams School of Education: The Teacher Education Committee is designated to review and approve graduate curriculum and program proposals. Secondary approval by the school-based curriculum committee is not required for graduate program proposals. For the M.Ed. program, the Teacher Education Committee is also required to approve any curriculum or program changes prior to the school-based curriculum committee approval.

5. For changes to interdisciplinary graduate programs involving more than one school or division, faculty in the program will be designated to discuss and develop the proposal. The principal Proposer, generally a program Director (or equivalent title), fulfills the role of Department Chair in this process, and the Proposers' academic Dean represents the administration as the proposal moves forward for consideration. Changes to such a program should be reviewed by all relevant school or division Curriculum Committees.
