College Curriculum Office
The college curriculum is primarily the responsibility of the faculty, with support from the Office of Academic Affairs. Any new curriculum or changes to existing programs are initiated within an academic department or program and are reviewed by one of three Faculty Senate committees: the Undergraduate Curriculum Committee, the General Education Committee, or the Graduate Studies Committee. Once approved by the Faculty Senate, the proposals are entered into Course Dog and forwarded to the appropriate CUNY body for further approval. If necessary, they are also reported to the New York State Education Department (NYSED). The Curriculum Office plays a key role in maintaining both the Undergraduate and Graduate catalogs, specifically program requirements.
