Programs, Curriculum Instruction Committee
This committee's focus was to ascertain the University's compliance with the SACSCOC goals associated with general, undergraduate, and graduate education. This compliance required an examination of the education components as a part of the undergraduate and graduate programs, but also focused on the role of on- and off-campus programming as a contributor to student success. This committee also focused on the evaluation of transfer coursework and the academic policies that contributed to "good educational practice."
