Faculty Core Committees

Fourteen Faculty Core Committees (FCCs) are responsible for reviewing course syllabi which are submitted by faculty to meet specific Core requirements. Thus, faculty shape the Core Curriculum through the exchange of ideas and their interpretation of learning goals and objectives.

Rubrics, Reports, and Guidelines

Course guidelines provide faculty with information to empower strong course development by creating assignments that assess principles of each Core area and as well as how to submit syllabi for Core area courses. Faculty can also view the current rubric for the assessment of student learning and assessment reports for each Core area.
