Curriculum Overview

The curriculum review process at SHSU provides an opportunity for the academic colleges to submit requests for the addition or deletion of courses; changes in course prefix, title, and/or number; and additions, deletions, or changes to degree programs.  While the faculty, department, and colleges are responsible for curriculum development and implementation, the Office of Academic Planning and Assessment oversees the logistics for curriculum change and development at SHSU, working to ensure that curricular actions conform to university, state, and accreditation timelines, policies, and procedures.
