ACADEMIC PROGRAMS COMMITTEE
Annual Report
(2014-2015)
Submitted by Dr. Michael Bovenzi, Chairperson
The Academic Programs Committee (APC) shall review curricular proposals for the creation,
deletion,
or modification of academic programs and courses. In their review of curricular
proposals, members of the committee shall determine (1) whether the degree
program or course is academically appropriate in a particular college or
department, (2) whether there is overlap, repetition, or redundancy in the creation
of new degree programs or courses, and (3) whether all relevant parties have
been consulted and had the chance to review the proposal. Matters of
presentation of academic curricula – the UNF Catalog, for instance -- are the
responsibility
of Academic Affairs; matters of compliance with accreditation standards are the
responsibility of the relevant department/ college and/or Academic
Affairs. Representatives to the APC
Committee shall review all proposals
in a timely manner and work with departments to formulate final submissions.”
The
Academic Programs Committee is responsible for reviewing and recommending
policies regarding degree requirements, academic programs and major changes in
