    2. The Curriculum Committee reviews all proposals from Academic Affairs and the Technical College.
  1. General Guidelines
    1. The charge of the committee is to ensure that Chattanooga State’s programs and courses meet the needs of students, the local community, and business and industry. The committee will recommend action as needed to improve specific components of the curriculum; appoint subcommittees and coordinate and communicate their activities as needed; and communicate the results of the committee’s efforts to administration, for approval and implementation.
