The College Curriculum Committee is responsible for ensuring that all courses and programs have instructional integrity, address appropriate learning outcomes, fit into a sequential framework that leads to students achieving the respective competencies, and meet the college's standards of excellence. The Committee reviews and must approve all additions, deletions, and major modifications to credit courses and programs and as such may assume leadership when there are no tenured faculty in a particular discipline or to suggest a change (addition, deletion, modification) where one may be necessary. The Learning Council and the president receive the recommendations of this Committee.
