mission
– FSU provides coherent collegiate-level
instruction with justifiable program length
Requests of Each Program
1. Organization Map displaying order of
positions within Colleges and Departments
Requests of Each School
2.
Each School or College will be asked to
provide a narrative describing how the
curricula of FSU programs meet SACS
standards.
The Undergraduate Programs Compliance
Report will ask specific questions
supported by certain documents.
Compliance Report
• The written narrative will be given in the
SACS Undergraduate Programs
Compliance Report.
• Although some questions are directed to
the institution, please answer all questions
as they pertain to your programs/degrees.
Types of Documentation/Evidence

manual

Suggestion for SACS
•
•
Each program should devise four or five
main goals for student learning. (What do
you want graduates to know when they
leave FSU?)
Remember, they must be measurable,
quantifiable goals consistent with the
mission.
Requests of Each Program
3. Curriculum Matrix indicating which
courses meet specific program goals
Requests of Each Program
4. Programs will receive a Course Level
Objectives Worksheet.
• It contains 3 sections:
– Course Descriptions (Catalog)
– Course Objectives (Syllabi)
– Artifacts (Assignments, tests, projects, etc.
that are evidence of learning); TaskStream
Curriculum Alignment
• Make sure that Course Objectives within
syllabi are consistent with the program goals.
• Many answers are found within the syllabi. A
few may need to update the language.
(Colleagues teaching the same classes
should share/divide the task.)
• Plan to measure whether future graduates
have accomplished these goals.
Workshops
• We hope to hold workshops providing
useful information (curriculum alignment,
course objectives, student learning
outcomes, rubrics, artifacts, organizational
map, etc.)
• Faculty members who are not able to
attend may reference PowerPoint
presentations and resource documents.
Undergraduate Programs Committee
• Turn in electronic documents to your committee
liaison.
