New Course Proposal Guidelines

All new course proposals must be submitted using the Course Action Form. If a new course is introduced with a department prefix and is NOT to be considered for the credits in Liberal Arts required for the bachelor's degree, approval remains within the jurisdiction of the department proposing the new course.

If the new course is expected to qualify as a Liberal Arts course* and count as part of the Liberal Arts credits required by New York State, it should follow one of the following procedures:

  • If the new course is expected to qualify as for the PEQ or FYS designation, the director of the Core Curriculum Committee will be alerted about your proposal.
  • If the new course is expected to qualify as Liberal Studies (LST prefix) as part of the total credits in liberal arts required for the bachelor’s degree, the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts, Sciences, Business, and Education will be notified about your proposal.
  • If the new course will carry a prefix outside of the College of Liberal Arts, Sciences, Business, and Education, and is being proposed to count toward the total credits in liberal arts required for the bachelor’s degree, the proposal needs to be submitted to the chair of the Curriculum Committee (see proposal requirements below). The Curriculum Committee will send a copy to the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts, Sciences, Business, and Education for an opinion and/or endorsement regarding approval of the course as a Liberal Arts course. The Curriculum Committee will then determine whether the course will qualify for liberal arts credits.

Following approval through one of the three routes above, the proposal will be sent to the Vice President for Academic Affairs for final review and approval.
