Curriculum Review Committee

CHARGE  
The purpose of the Curriculum Review Committee is to recommend to the Board of Trustees those courses and programs that meet stated standards. 
 
The Curriculum Review Committee reviews and approves courses, certificates, and majors that support the SRJC Mission to provide:  

  1. Lower division academic education, to support transfer to four-year institutions  
  2. Career and technical education, to support economic development and job growth  
  3. Basic skills, including English language skills acquisition  
  4. Student and academic support services, to improve student success and student retention 

 
The Curriculum Review Committee also collaborates with the Office of Curriculum and Educational Support Services to provide information, training, systems, and guidance on interpreting state regulations and establishing guiding principles for faculty and staff in developing and revising curricula that meet Title 5 requirements and SRJC standards of quality. 
 
The Curriculum Review Committee receives advice and recommendations from Cluster Tech Review Teams in each identified cluster of departments for new or revised course reviews, with particular attention to course names, descriptions, numbering, hour and unit consistency, the appropriateness of prerequisites, and the relationship to other courses within the department and in other departments.
