The Academic Planning Process
The University’s academic master plan provides the timeline for implementing new majors. Reviewing this academic plan annually is an important endeavor involving the Academic Policy and Planning Committee, the Academic Senate, the Provost and the President. Once approved on campus, 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 CSUCI Intend to Develop New Program form # 5 located in Curriculog is 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 "CSUCI Intend to Develop New Program Form" is used to add a degree to the master plan.
