School or Division Based Review

3. Curriculum and program proposals will be considered by a designated school- or division-based committee. The Department Chair, Program Director, or principal advocate, with support and documentation provided by the department faculty and the Dean of the school or college, will attend meetings when the proposal is discussed.
4. The designated school- or division-based committee may vary (in name and composition) according to the organizational structure and size of the school, division, or department that originates the proposal. However, the committee structure and process must comply with any applicable requirements of accrediting agencies. Some examples of current models are shown below:

• Love School of Business: The school-based curriculum committee is designated to review and approve graduate curriculum and program proposals. For proposals originating from a department, approval of the department faculty is required before review by the school-based curriculum committee.
• School of Education: The Teacher Education Committee is designated to review and approve graduate curriculum and program proposals. Secondary approval by the school-based curriculum committee is not required for graduate program proposals.

5. For interdisciplinary proposals involving more than one school or division, a faculty-based committee or task force will be designated for creating the proposal. The principal advocate for the proposal fulfills the role of Department Chair in this process, and that advocate’s academic Dean represents the administration as the proposal moves forward for consideration.
