VIII. BRIEF NARRATIVE EXPLAINING WHAT YOU ARE HOPING TO ACCOMPLISH WITH YOUR
CURRICULAR CHANGES, identifying the relationship of the proposed changes to other planning processes (i.e., Academic Program Review, Student Outcomes Assessment, strategic planning, and licensure or accreditation/re-accreditation requirements). Explain how you know these changes are needed, based on those planning processes. (e.g., Based on what we learned through assessing our _____ learning goal for the major, showing that we needed more emphasis on _______, we are restating the major to add some possible electives and change the required core from 9 to 12 credits with the addition of a newly created core course.)
Course changes clarify class structures and align prerequisites with new physical chemistry sequence. Program restatements clarify student options for program completion. Other changes are potential campus-wide modifications – other departments may generate parallel proposals.
