Existing and Planned Programs Through 2010-2017
The Academic Planning Process
The University’s academic master plan provides the timeline for implementing new majors. As a young campus, reviewing this academic plan annually is an important endeavor involving the Academic Planning Committee, the Academic Senate, the Provost and the President. Once approved on campus each fall, CI’s academic plan is forwarded by Academic Programs and Planning to the Chancellor’s Office for eventual approval in March by the Board of Trustees.
The following forms are provided for faculty proposing a change to the Academic Master Plan or submitting a program proposal for a new degree. The Proposal to Change the Academic Master Plan or ‘short form’ is used to add a degree to the master plan. The Program Proposal or ‘long form’ is used to develop a full program proposal for a degree already on the master plan.
- Proposal to Change the Academic Master Plan (aka the Short Form) (MS Word, 47KB)
- Program Proposal (aka the Long Form) (MS Word, 54KB)
