Curricula and Courses Committee

The Curricula and Courses Committee (C&C) is composed of representatives of all departments in the Neag School of Education. The Committee's main purpose is to review and approve proposed changes to the School's academic programs and courses. This includes the addition and removal of courses, substantial changes to courses, and the creation and modification of majors, minors, and certificate programs.

PLEASE NOTE: Action request forms must be received by the Neag School C&C Committee two weeks prior to C&C meeting dates to be considered at that meeting. See below for list of meeting dates.
