Career and Technical Education Curriculum Committee
Committee Information
The curriculum committees are established to provide a systematic process for reviewing and recommending actions for proposed changes that affect the college's curricula. The process should be faculty-driven, incorporate administrative leadership and support, and assure effective communication and feedback throughout the college.
The CTE Curriculum Committee necessarily provides a forum for the discussion of educational matters related to A.S./A.A.S./C.C. curricula. It also makes recommendations to the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs that reflect the views of faculty and administrative and professional staff. Membership of this subcommittee consists of one voting member from each CTE department/area, CTE program advisors (advisory), a liaison from the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Office (advisory), and the Curriculum Information Liaison (advisory).
Current Members
Changes to the curriculum process, which includes a new Health Sciences Curriculum Subcommittee, were finalized on April 14, 2026. Many of the current members of the CTE Subcommittee will transition to that subcommittee when fully formed, and vacancies will be filled throughout the summer.
