A FORM |
Complete the Abstract proposal form (A Form) in Curriculog *Program proposers should contact their Dean’s office and Academic Programs for assistance Background: New baccalaureate and graduate-level degrees must be approved by the Chancellor’s Office. Every January, CSU campuses send updated University Academic Master Plans (or UAMPs) to the Chancellor’s Office for approval by the Board of Trustees at their March meeting. When the Board of Trustees approves a campus request to add a new program to the UAMP, it authorizes the campus to submit a formal proposal to the Chancellor’s Office for establishing such a degree program. Purpose: The A-Form is used to propose the addition of a new baccalaureate or graduate degree to the UAMP. Process: After review by the appropriate college curriculum or planning committee, A-Forms are sent to Academic Programs. The forms are distributed to key University officers (including all members of Provost’s Council and the President’s Cabinet) for information dissemination, review and feedback. The feedback received as a result of this distribution is provided to proposers as it is received (to inform development of the program proposal) and to the Budget and Long-range Planning Committee (BLP). After review BLP will forward the A-Form to the Academic Senate for approval. See the UAMP policy for more details. Timeline: Academic Programs needs to receive the A-Form no later than September 28 in order to ensure a timely review by Senate in the same year. If the A-Form is not approved by Senate by the end of the year the program has to wait another year before it can be added to the UAMP. DEADLINES

Upper Division General Education provides an opportunity for students to learn about areas of study outside their academic major. Upper Division General Education courses assume satisfaction of Lower Division General Education Requirements and develop upper division skills. Courses should not require discipline-specific prerequisites. Designed for non-majors, these courses make explicit the basic assumptions, principles and methods of the disciplinary or interdisciplinary area of study. This conceptual framework and the applicability of these principles and methods should be emphasized throughout the course.
Upper Division General Education courses should help students see how disciplines, ideas, issues and knowledge are often interrelated, intersecting and interconnected. Upper Division General Education courses should present knowledge which can enhance students’ lives outside the classroom or their studies in other subjects. These courses should also provide students with a classroom environment that fosters independent, active,engaged learning and a genuine curiosity about the subject matter.
Upper Division General Education courses shall be three-unit courses so that three such courses will exactly correspond with the 9-unit Upper Division General Education requirement of the CSU.
