XI. Curricular Review
Multidisciplinary review and approval of all courses by the Course and Curriculum Review Committee (CCRC) are important components of the Institute's culture. The intent of the review process is to ensure clear communication about course offerings between the program and the CCRC and the CCRC and the registrar. All courses, except for those originating in CIPSI, are reviewed by the CCRC after approval by the sponsoring program. CIPSI courses are sent directly to the CCRC, as the CCRC functions as the curriculum committee for all HP courses and other courses arising out of CIPSI.
The goals of CCRC review are to:
• assure consistent quality and rigor of course offerings
• minimize unnecessary redundancy
• assure that course submissions follow best practices for course design
Membership of CCRC is composed of two representatives from each school within the Institute and one member-at-large (MAL).
