Curriculum development provides administrative support for the development of new academic degree programs, revision of existing programs and discontinuance of obsolete programs. Once a proposal for a new program or a change to an existing program is completed, the proposal must be reviewed and approved by the Curriculum Review and Approval Committee (CRAC).
Program Proposals
All program proposals, new and revision, must be submitted through the online curriculum management system. Paper forms will not be accepted.
Please contact Claude Bartholomew, University Curriculum Coordinator, Claude@sfsu.edu(link sends e-mail), for assistance with the online system.
