Proposal requests for new degree programs
are of two types: substantive and nonsubstantive. Any request that
does not meet the Coordinating Board criteria for a nonsubstantive
request must be submitted as a substantive request. |

All requests, both substantive and nonsubstantive,
must be approved through the faculty curriculum review process of
the relevant college and by the dean of the college. Subsequent approval
must be obtained from the Provost's Council, the Faculty Senate, the
Provost, and the President. Proposal requests for new graduate degree
programs must be reviewed and approved by the Graduate Council before
they are submitted to the Provost’s Council for approval. Each
degree proposal should be accompanied by a form requesting University
approval of the program. Forms are available in the offices of the
academic deans and the Provost. |
