Curriculum Committee Mission
The Curriculum Committee of Orange Coast College promotes academic excellence and curricular rigor, ensuring that all college courses and programs adhere to state regulations and the policies of the District. This mission is primarily achieved by studying curricular proposals and recommending action on them to the Board of Trustees. The Curriculum Committee is a sub-committee of the College’s Academic Senate, charged with the oversight of all the college's curricula, including degree and certificate requirements, prerequisites, placement of courses into the college’s general education patterns, and the placement of courses within disciplines.
We are a multidisciplinary committee that ensures the broadest of academic perspectives in the review, approval, and renewal of sound curriculum. We value culturally responsive curriculum that exposes students to the broader world and its people, in keeping with the California Community Colleges Curriculum Committee’s recommendation to frame dialogue and decision-making on a commitment to curricular diversity, culturally responsive content, and anti-racism.
We certify academic rigor and adherence to standards and regulations. It is our goal to generate excitement about curriculum processes and inform area faculty about curriculum procedures and training opportunities.
